On the second anniversary of his passing, we remember the life of astronaut Muhammad Faris, the first Syrian to reach space in 1987, carrying Syria's name to the heights of science and achievement. Faris was not merely an astronaut; he was a symbol of ambition and knowledge, and was known for his unwavering support of the Syrian people's demands for freedom and dignity in the face of the oppressive regime. He left Syria for Turkey in 2011 and passed away on April 19, 2024, leaving behind a national and humanitarian legacy that remains alive in the hearts of Syrians.
