First Emirati astronaut to fly UAE flag and tree seeds to space station [i]The red, green, white and black flag of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is flying for the first time at the launch site where humanity first lifted off for space. The display is in recognition of another historic milestone, the imminent first flight of an astronaut from the Middle Eastern country. A similar UAE flag, this one made out of pure silk, will fly with Hazzaa AlMansoori on his 8-day mission to the International Space Station. The banner is among a number of items that Almansoori is taking with him to share Emirati culture with his crewmates and to bring mementos from his spaceflight back to his fellow citizens.[/i]
