The lecture will be delivered by Omar Samra, a renowned adventurer and explorer, a future astronaut with XCOR Aerospace, and the first Egyptian to climb Mount Everest, climb the seven summits, and ski to both poles. Mohammed Sallam, the only Egyptian and Arab Mars astronaut candidate, will also be speaking during the lecture.
The public lecture will discuss the “Make Space Yours” program, which is helmed by Samra to encourage school and university students across Egypt to come up with ideas for space experiments for a chance to win valuable prizes.
