🚀 INCREDIBLE news from @blueorigin! MoonDAO’s very own @DrEJahangir is part of the NS-26 crew! It has been a long and epic journey for our community to arrive at this milestone of sending our second person to space, and Eiman's journey from Tehran to Nashville, to becoming a cardiologist, and then winning the Ticket to Space contest a few months ago is nothing short of inspiring. We couldn’t be more excited to have Eiman representing the MoonDAO community.
