9 Muslim Astronauts Who’ve Been to Space (Most People Don’t Know Even One of Them)

A journey to space is something many aspire to, but only a few human beings on the planet can actually utter the words “yes I’ve been to outer space”. What most people don’t know is that several Muslim astronauts hold the honor, and today we’re going to put the spotlight on our fellow Muslim brothers and sister who have had, quite literally, out of the world experiences.

Before you start to see who are the 9 Muslims who been to the outer space – here is a question to ask yourself. “How many names on this list do i know?

How is it that we have more than a Billion Muslims – yet, these high achievers are not known to many. Give another friend or family member a test, ask them “name three Muslims who have Been to Space” and don’t be surprised when most people can’t pass your test.

Please help spread Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, Anouseh Ansari and others on this list. Surprise them with a well deserved fame by sharing this post with others. It’s a huge achievement and believe me when i say this; some day, we would need someone, to share something about one of us, or the achievements of our loved ones. What goes around comes around. Without further delay, please enjoy the list.
