That sheer joy of seeing our home planet in space, even though I had seen a thousand pictures of it before,

just being able to see it with my own eyes and this sense of

you know life and warmth and energy sort of coming from it. Hi, I'm Azimazar, your host on the Exponential View Podcast and the creator of the

Weekly Exponential View newsletter.

Today I'm in a rather special conversation with the first Iranian astronaut in space, Anushay Anushay is also the CEO

of the X Prize Foundation.

In our discussion, we explore how the space industry is changing and why the X Prize model of innovation,

public competitions designed to encourage breakthrough technologies, works.

We also hear from a new share about her own time in space.

But before we get on to the conversation,

I'd like to give a shout out to the World Economic Forum,

our partner in producing this podcast.

With me in Dubai is Jim Landale.

That's great to see you.

Why don't you tell me and the EV audience

more about the World Economic Forum Podcast

and what you have in store for them?
