Em Houston, dez americanos e dois cidadãos dos Emirados Árabes Unidos completaram dois anos de formação intensiva e foram oficialmente graduados como astronautas da NASA, tornando-se elegíveis para missões à Estação Espacial Internacional e para o programa Artemis, que ambiciona devolver humanos à Lua antes do fim desta década. A sua seleção, a partir de mais de 12.000 candidatos, representa não apenas uma conquista individual, mas um momento de transição na história da exploração espacial — de uma corrida movida pela Guerra Fria para uma empresa científica e estratégica de alcance geracional.

US reasserts space leadership through Artemis while expanding partnerships with UAE, countering China's lunar ambitions and Russia's reduced cooperation post-2022. UAE's inclusion elevates Gulf state influence in space exploration and signals US-Middle East strategic alignment beyond traditional security frameworks.
Similar to Cold War space race when US-Soviet competition drove rapid astronaut training and lunar missions; now US-China competition mirrors this dynamic with allied partnerships replacing bipolar competition.
