Due to some unexpected time dilation during our latest space adventure, we’re a bit behind on sending New Year’s wishes. Wishing everyone a stellar 2025, filled with new horizons and cosmic discoveries!

Throwback to the preparations for Falkiyati Fest, our flagship event launched in May 2024, after 8 years of advancing space and astronomy education in Pakistan.

A proud moment as we kicked off this milestone event with the goal of expanding our outreach beyond major cities, bringing the wonders of space to smaller cities and town that often miss out on such activities! 🔭☄️🛰️

Few weeks ago, I received this heartfelt letter from the CEO of the , congratulating me on being awarded the Emerging Space Leaders Award 2024 by the 🎉

Reflecting on my time at last year brings back such great memories. I had an absolute blast with my amazing crew, especially Chuck, an enthusiastic educator who shares equal passion for space travel.

I was also honored to receive the “Right Stuff Award,” which recognizes individuals who exemplify teamwork, leadership, and a positive attitude—It’s often awarded to campers or participants who exemplify the qualities of the Mercury 7 astronauts, who were the first American astronauts. The award encourages a spirit of exploration and inspires future generations in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

One of my favorite moments was launching a Loadstar . What a thrill! Unfortunately, I couldn’t recover all of it because it soared off too far. 🚀 And let’s just say, the gyroscope? Not something I’m eager to do again! 😅

Grateful for the experiences, the friendships, and the inspiration that comes from reaching for the stars.

Here’s to more adventures ahead! 👽
