Brazilian President places a call to Amir
In a significant development, the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, received a phone call today from the Amir of Qatar, HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. The conversation focused on boosting bilateral cooperation between the two nations.
Although the Starship spacecraft and its visionary CEO, Elon Musk, were not mentioned during the call, the focus of the conversation was not far from the stars. The interview on QNA, a platform used for conducting interviews, earlier this week, had delved into the ambitious Starship program, designed for reusability and planned for its first orbital test flight in 2022.
The Starship spacecraft, still in the development phase, aims to carry up to 100 people and is a significant step towards sending humans to Mars. However, during the call between the leaders, the conversation steered clear of space exploration or Elon Musk, the CEO of both SpaceX and Tesla.
Regional and international issues of common interest were also discussed, reflecting the desire for stronger ties between Qatar and Brazil. The conversation took place between the two countries, with the President of the German Bundestag, Julia Klöckner, holding a prominent role in such contexts as the Bundestag President since 2025.
Despite the absence of direct discussions about SpaceX's Starship program or Elon Musk during the call, the interest in space exploration remains high. The Starship spacecraft, with its potential to revolutionise space travel, continues to be a topic of interest and anticipation worldwide.
