00:00we have to go back and experience gravity again and hopefully we feel

00:04good and then we'll think about the first thing that we might do but

00:06definitely I would love to have a fresh meal once I'm back.

00:13Hi Sultan, this is Ajila from Gulf News. It's been a pleasure writing about your mission and

00:17I'm so happy to talk to you right now. My question is about your priorities when you are back.

00:22What would be the very first things that you would want to do when you're back on Earth?

00:26Well honestly, well first of all thanks for the question but honestly I don't know what

00:30the situation will be. Definitely we need some time to adapt to Earth and the life overall

00:37on the ground so it depends on the situation. Definitely people like to eat fresh food or

00:44freshly cooked food maybe or a cup of coffee. People or other people like to sleep on a bed

00:50but honestly I don't know yet we have to go back and experience gravity again and hopefully we feel

00:55good and then we'll think about the first thing that we might do but definitely I would love to

00:59have a fresh meal once I'm back. Also you have been doing a lot during this mission but I would

01:05want to know from your side what would be the most important contributions that you think are

01:10part of this mission? Your most important contributions through this mission? I think

01:14being here for six months and conducting EVA and helping to do hundreds of hours of science that

01:22is the most important contribution I think. So definitely we have future missions, we have

01:29additional astronauts from the UAE that are scheduled to go hopefully in the future so we

01:34need to do something different and being here for six months for the first time for an Arab astronaut

01:39and conducting EVA I think that was the most important thing that I did and additionally as

01:44I said the science that we contributed in the name of the UAE I think is going to be a

01:52great addition to this mission overall.
