Hazza Al Mansouri - First Emirati in space. Zayed’s Ambition

We sit down with Hazza Al Mansouri, the first Emirati astronaut to reach space. In 2019, he embarked on the UAE's first scientific mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission carried the slogan 'Zayed's Ambition' making the UAE the 19th country worldwide, and the first country in the Arab region, to travel to the ISS. During our discussion, Hazza shares with us his journey to becoming an astronaut. From starting as a jet pilot and wanting to higher and further into space and how he was selected out of thousands of applicants. Hazza is an inspiration to so many and is another example of how the UAE continues to break boundaries, on earth and in space, proving that all dreams can become a reality. This episode was recorded at the Dubai Future Forum, the world’s largest gathering of futurists organized by Dubai Future Foundation.
