UAE astronaut on longest-ever Arab space mission: "A big responsibilIty"
The songs of the late Egyptian superstar Umm Kulthum have been played countless times in cabs and coffee shops around the Arab world because they are profound and soul-stirring. They have now made their way to the antiseptic white corridors of the International Space Station, owing to the musical preferences of a trailblazing Emirati astronaut. Sultan al-Neyadi, who will make history this weekend by completing the longest Arab space mission ever, told the Guardian from space that he believed it was important to convey a piece of Arab culture to space during the journey. Neyadi, who was floating in microgravity, stated in a recorded video message that "everyone is watching us; everybody is excited about space." Many of my coworkers have said how great it is to hear a foreign language on the station, I overheard. The majority of the few hundred people who have crossed the border of space have been Americans, and NASA-trained astronauts or Russian cosmonauts have dominated celestial flight for decades. Only six Arabs have been to space so far; they are now referred to as "aquanauts" after the Arabic word for star, "najm". Neyadi has used his six-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS), which orbits the Earth at a speed of around 17,500 mph (28,000 km/h) and an altitude of about 250 miles (400 km), to conduct crucial scientific experiments as well as to introduce the Arab world to the marvels of space. The 42-year-old flight engineer has frequently uploaded videos in Arabic to social media about life on board the space station, detailing his peculiar daily routine, which includes eating vacuum-packed food and exercising in a "weightless" environment with a machine that generates its resistance. When asked whether he felt pressure as one of a small group of aquanauts to encourage interest in space exploration and science among people in the Middle East and North Africa, Neyadi responded to the Guardian that there is a sizable audience in the Arab world that is "thirsty to learn more about space." We must impart information and present these results to them clearly and engagingly, he added. "In particular, the youth... I would like to be a resource for them—a source of knowledge and motivation. Therefore, it's a huge duty. Neyadi has also given the world's space enthusiasts a new point of view by snapping pictures of famous places and Middle Eastern cities that honor a region that is sometimes unfairly characterized in the West.
