The interview took place at George Washington University and was hosted by the UAE Embassy in Washington.

Scheduled to return to Earth on September 1, AlNeyadi has accomplished the first long-duration Arab space mission. He made history by conducting the first spacewalk for the Arab world outside the ISS on April 28. Additionally, he has conducted experiments and scientific studies on how microgravity affects the human body, collaborating with UAE universities and international space agencies.

Returning to the question about 'Family Feud', AlNeyadi provided a more detailed answer when responding to a formal query from Ambassador Al Otaiba. He spoke about the years of training with his fellow astronauts, forming a bond like that of brothers and sisters. AlNeyadi emphasized the collaboration among the ISS crew, who come from different countries, to achieve a common goal for the advancement of science and humanity.

In conclusion, AlNeyadi described the ISS as a place where people from different perspectives can live in peace and harmony.
