Mina Mukhar
Mina Mukhar was born in Houston, Texas and was raised out in the countryside of Richmond, Texas (outskirts of Houston, Texas) on a 7 acre estate.
Growing up as a child, Mina would climb out of his bedroom window to lay out on the roof and stare for hours into the deep dark star-filled sky and wonder if we [humanity] would ever find answers to questions of the unknown. Where did we come from? Are we alone?
Mina always dreamed about the future and always wondered how the cities of tomorrow would look. He is a very forward thinking person and is obviously is not afraid of challenges that are literally out of this world.
Today, rather than wait for the future to arrive, Mina, together with the Mars Initiative, hopes to accelerate the opportunity to see the day when humans can venture out into space and beyond and back again as casually as we get on airplanes today.
