Korsakov, during his visit to India, confirmed that Sunita Williams and the entire crew of the ISS are in good spirits despite the challenges they are facing. “The astronauts are fine, and I am confident that any issues will be successfully resolved,” Korsakov said, alleviating concerns about the safety and stability of ongoing operations on the ISS.
He expressed confidence in the space agencies overseeing the mission, saying they are thoroughly evaluating all options to ensure the success of the mission. Korsakov highlighted the careful planning and contingency measures for space missions, saying, “Space agencies will consider every possibility, including the use of Dragon or Soyuz spacecraft, to make the best possible decision.”
Recalling his time spent on the ISS, Korsakov expressed deep amazement at seeing Earth from space. “I was 400 kilometres from the stars, but the most remarkable aspect was to see our planet from a new perspective – a world without borders, without boundariesIt serves as a reminder to maintain the safety and peace of our planet,” he stated. India’s advancements in space exploration were also commended by Korsakov. He claimed to have been closely monitoring India’s development and to be impressed by the nation’s quick progress in launching fruitful missions and establishing audacious new objectives.
“I trained with the Indian astronauts, or gigantomanias, and they were strong, bright, and full of energy.He declared, “I have no doubt that they will accomplish great things.” When questioned about his experiences in space, Korsakov characterized it as a big, enigmatic place with lots of unexplored potential. “Space is limitless and full of opportunities, but we can only fully take advantage of them if we collaborate and pool our resources across national boundaries. Cooperation in space exploration will allow us to move faster and achieve greater things,” he explained.
