The homecoming of Sultan Al Neyadi made everyone pride (“UAE’s pride returns home,”Sept.19, Gulf Today website).

Sultan Al Neyadi’s safe return from space has sparked an important question: how much can we truly make use of space technology. As the UAE continues to dream big and prioritise space exploration, it’s crucial to consider the commercial viability and potential for development in various arenas.

Encouraging the next generation to pursue space technology is vital to the UAE’s investment in the future. Let’s inspire the youth to reach for the stars and continue to advance their aspirations in this field. Let’s explore the possibilities and make the most out of this exciting frontier.
