Ma Sha Allah, very well done, Pakistan IT future is very bright if it is kept away from the dirty hands of politicians and bureaucrats.

Other than a letter signed by someone not too highly ranked, I believe NASA ought to have rewarded him financially too. A matter of pride for Pakistan 🇵🇰. Thanks Shehzad.
Acknowledged means they know you exist and they don’t care since we , his own nation don’t care.
just insignificant news being exaggerated.
