It must have been an amazing experience for young children to see and listen to their idol Hazza Al Mansoori on Sunday. Hazza Al Mansoori, accompanied by fellow Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, met with a few children at the Museum of the Future ahead of Al Neyadi’s mission to the International Space Station that will be launching soon (“Hazza Al Mansoori, Sultan Al Neyadi enlighten children on the mysteries of outer space,” Jan.8, 2023, Gulf Today online edition.)

The two astronauts engaged with a group of young space science enthusiasts during an exclusive tour held at Dubai’s iconic museum. I am sure young minds will get inspiration by meeting with them. Igniting young minds is the need of an hour. If young children are exposed to scientific things then they will try to explore as they grow up in life.  Children will remember the time they have spent with their idols for a very long time. It will help them to follow their dreams.
