Omran Sharaf, Director of the Emirates Project for the Exploration of Mars, “The Hope Probe” at the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center, said: “The beauty in space is that we do not have a single identity. We are all citizens of this planet, and through“ Hope Probe ”the United Arab Emirates wants to deliver this message to Arab youth and their inspiration, if the state, which is a young country, can reach Mars in less than 50 years, then we can accomplish much more than that.

Odom, chief historian at NASA, “Acting” the Office of History Program at the headquarters of the US Aerospace and Space Agency (NASA): “I feel excited and know that many people at NASA are excited about Expo 2020 and our participation in it, and I think this is a great opportunity to talk about our past and our current location on trips. The space”.
He added, “In my opinion, this is what opportunities such as the World Expo offer us, which allow us to think about what we can achieve collectively as human beings, and what awaits us in the field of exploration.”
belonging
In turn, Erseilia Vodou, CEO of Diversity – European Space Agency said: “We do not travel to space for the purpose of colonization, we do not travel to space for the purpose of conquest, and we do not travel to space to overcome each other, but rather we travel to it because we belong to the same human species and care about our environment and our future generations.
