5 December, 2011. Halifax, N.S. Canada / 5 Декабря 2011 г. Халифакс, Канада. Старт! Sergei's speech translated into English: "I am addressing everyone who partook in this venture, whether by word, action, financial or emotional support... I... I've been working towards this my whole life... and with your help, I am finally taking off... I'll try not to screw up to avoid embarrassment. Those of you who don't like to pray, cross your fingers for me, and I'll cross mine for you. I'd like to personally thank Inna, Alex, other Alex... Pavel... I can't name all of you right now... also my sister Natalya, my daughter, and the rest of you. You know who you are. If not for you, I don't know where I would be right now. I am now only one step away from my youth dream. Thank you guys. I love you all, and I hope you won't be embarrassed of me. Thank you."
