Space Station, his new home for the next six months. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
Thousands of you were glued to screens all over the country | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
to watch the incredible moment the rocket took off. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
Five, four, three, two, one, liftoff! | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
Speechless, I'm completely speechless. | :00:56. | :01:21. | |
And when the rocket launched I was just amazed. | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
To know that Tim is up there right now, is just fantastic. | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
Tim said goodbye to his family before going on the mission he's | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Right now he's inside the tiny capsule hurtling into orbit. | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
He walked confidently out of the cosmonauts' hotel. | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
He will not be back on Earth for six months. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
With a final wave to his friends and family, he took a bus | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
It has been a long journey to get to this | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
There were last-minute medical tests, checks on the rocket, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
because the team needed to make sure everything was perfect for take-off. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
The three-man crew stood on the steps and waved before | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Then, just after 11, the countdown began. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
The engine fired and the 50 metre rocket | :02:25. | :02:37. | |
The three men smiled inside as they were shaken | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
You can see how much the capsule is vibrating. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
It is really inspirational to show that someone | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
normal can achieve something extraordinary. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
The crew cannot move from their seats for six hours, | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
The capsule needs to link up with the | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
space station that is hurtling through space | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
Tim Peake will spend about six months on the International Space | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
Station, but his training has taken him six years. | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
He has given me tenacity to keep going for my goals. | :03:24. | :03:34. | |
I would like to see if he coul ddiscover a new planet | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Tim's mission makes him the first British astronaut to live | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
