    On 7th June 1962, today, Pakistan was the first country in the developing world to launch a rocket. Far ahead of anyone else in the region.

    Team that launched these rockets was led by Dr. Tariq Mustafa, who selected 4 more people. This legendary 5 member team comprised of young men who were all under 59 years of age at the time... Just boys, who changed history, and gave Pakistan an incredible headstart to SUPARCO, (Pakistan's Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission).

    Every citizen should know their heroes, but unfortunately, we forget them easily with the passage of time... However, now their historic achievements are immortalized in this film - A documentary which will tell all, and celebrate the real heroes who made it all possible.

    And the work which 5 brave men undertook over 60 years ago - Continues!



    We launched the 2nd weather satellite, our own built from scratch - Which our enemies are complaining is a spy satellite in disguise, (there's just no way they'll ever be happy)... :smt044

    1 year ago Pakistan also became the 6th country to send a probe to the Moon.

    Sadly, peaceful space exploration took the back seat in my country. As we are surrounded by hostile neighbors.

    That's how military forwarded it's nuclear weapon carrying missile program instead of this, as that obviously took priority, (thanks to unfortunate geopolitical situations in the region) - It couldn't be helped, as we have enemies who often need to be taught a lesson.

    However now peaceful space exploration is back on track, (after decades of neglect).
