His son, Rashid, then inquired whether his father would be bringing back any souvenirs for him. Before his space journey, Dr. Al Neyadi had mentioned his plan to take along a collection of his children’s toys, which he intended to bring back and present to them upon his return.
In response to his son’s question, Dr. Al Neyadi mentioned that he would also be bringing back a stuffed toy named Suhail, the mascot of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre, as a special gift.
During the live session, members of the public posed various questions, including a query from a child named Mansour, who asked about the safety of space travel for young individuals.
At the age of 42, Dr. Al Neyadi is set to conclude his six-month scientific mission in the upcoming weeks and return to Earth.
