I saw somewhere that the UAE space program is more than 70% under the age of 35, which is interesting. Where I saw that, I don’t remember the source, it also looked like the space program is opening a cultural dynamic among school age children in the UAE to encourage increased interests in math and science for hope of joining the program.

- johnwalkr 6y agoThe project manager for HOPE is 36 and has a few missions of experience as an engineer. They have domestic facilities and capabilities now, but their first partner for Building satellites and knowledge transfer was A Korean aerospace startup. So virtually nobody there was trained in a traditional large space agency ecosystem although of course now they have many good working relationships with them. Definitely an agency to watch!
