Meet Mishaal Ashemimry, First Saudi Arabian Woman to Join NASA

[RoadRunner401]

What does have driving a car at home has to do with her being a rocket scientist?
How many women are driving cars in the world,? billions..and how many join NASA as scientists.. count them on your fingers!..

There are more than 6,000 women working at NASA, not sure how many fingers you have, but for normal human being that impossible to count on fingers!!!!!!!!!!!

she looks indian

she looks indian

I don't think so. I rather think that a minority of Indians can look like Western Asians and thus resemble Arabs, Iranians, Turks and others. I have seen Northern Indian women (Punjabis, Kashmiris etc.) who could pass as Arabs. Anyway I can still easily pick them apart.

Anyway she could resemble an Mongolian, Papuan or Sub-Saharan Bantu for all I care. The most important thing is her talent and personality and they seem to be top notch.

Yes !

But we must fight for it, brother (Respect, Equality and all their rights). Nothing comes without fighting.

Indeed brother. Hard work and more hard work. Nevertheless it is fair to say that the future is very bright on this front.

I believe I can fly,
I believe I can touch the sky,...
But I can't believe I still can't drive,
I believe I can fly,

Yes ! But that did not happen, naturally - with joy -, the hand on the heart in “the country of Democracy”. This was ripped off by the struggle. As now with us.

Lots of Good news coming from saudia

Yes. Hopefully one day she and the many other 100's (if not 1000's) of highly capable Saudi Arabians now based in the West, will be able to return and contribute to the progress of the country. Similarly with all other highly talented Arabs based in the West regardless of nationality.

Good move by Saudi.

She is a bright lady. She is a scientist and entreprenuer rolled into one. That is special and rarity.

I don't know anything about her being an entrepreneur but if that is the case I wish her all the best.

PS. I was not aware of you being able to read the Arabic script or understand spoken Arabic? I am curious how you found that video? It appears that she has a Youtube channel. Did not know that either.

I am more familiar with the work of Adah al-Mutairi:

I confess I am entirely illiterate and get just get by on humble English. I came across it while reading up on Mishaal Aerospace and it's ambitious projects.

I was genuinely curious as I know that the Pashto alphabet is based on the Arabic alphabet (sharing all 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet) with additional letters found in no other alphabet in order to accommodate phonemes used in Pashto.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashto_alphabet

Many Pashtuns based in the Arab world also have a somewhat easy time at learning Arabic. More than most others, I have noticed.

I met a few Pashtuns based in the UK (both Pakistanis and Afghans) and surprisingly a few of them spoke Arabic fluently but they apparently picked it up in the UK.

Anyway my curiosity aside, it is (at least to me) a very good thing that women in Muslim countries are gaining more influence and proving themselves. This is needed in order to move the societies in a direction that most of us aspire to reach.

Learning Arabic is big thing in UK. More so with the religious brigade. But you know me - I am the oddball here. So I skipped all that. I do of course sometimes regret it. More languages is a good thing.

Best of luck to Mishaal

Obviously, you don't like to see a young Saudi woman scientist able to make very advanced space rockets while Turkish scientists are not !.. or is it because she is a woman?
Proud of Muslim brain, if for nothing else, she as an example among thousands of others to break the western and others perceptions that Muslims are unable to master advanced sciences, and are backward, and that Islam does not go with science.. maybe you never heard of these things but they really are/were deeply entrenched perceptions of the Muslims all over Europe and beyond for centuries.. Add to it the Muslims beat their women mercilessly and keep them as objects in their homes..now she _among others_ makes them look like utter liars ..

There are more than 6,000 women working at NASA, not sure how many fingers you have, but for normal human being that impossible to count on fingers!!!!!!!!!!!

And they are all rocket scientists?
