YES! Space Science Center in Kuwait!!

Last Monday was the last day of Astronomy Day at Kuwait Science Club. So I gave a presentation about "Space Science Learning Center | Education & Public Outreach Program" at the Science Club. Yes!!! Finally my dream will come true [not like last summer when I got turned down]. I will be in charge and director of the new space science center and put a 5 year plan for space programs for students, members and adults. Al-Ujeri, the most famous astronomer in Kuwait, was present and I hoped that he comment on my presentation and my space plans. Unfornatly, he didn't hear a word what I said. He is such an old man and have hearing problems.

I was surprise to know that Kuwait University has the first Cosmic Ray Telescope (Moun Telescope) in Middle East. I met with Dr. Ismail Sabbah who dose prediction of Cornal Mass Ejections (CMEs) with cosmic rays and Remote Sensing of desert dust.

I hope 7-10 years we will send the first Kuwaiti satellite, build spaceport or send the first Kuwaiti astronaut (pick me, please!)
