Kenyan man Isaac Gathu dreams of becoming one of the first Kenyans to travel to Mars, inspired by his fascination with space travel since childhood. As the founding president of the Mars Society of Kenya, he participates in analog space missions on Earth to prepare himself for his ultimate goal. Isaac’s passion for space is evident in his public appearances wearing a homemade spacesuit to promote awareness of space exploration.
On the other hand, Lydia Matata is a talented screenwriter and filmmaker from Kenya, who has worked on drama series for popular streaming services like Netflix and Showmax. Her recent documentary film, Utapata Mwingine, received critical acclaim and won the Best Emerging Filmmaker award at the UN Women’s Global Voices Film Festival.
Both Isaac and Lydia represent the creativity and determination of Kenyan individuals in pursuing their dreams and making a mark in their respective fields. While Isaac aims to reach new heights in space exploration, Lydia continues to showcase her storytelling abilities and filmmaking skills on a global platform.
Their achievements not only inspire others in Kenya but also highlight the diverse talents and ambitions of individuals in the country. As Isaac continues on his journey towards Mars and Lydia continues to produce compelling film projects, they serve as shining examples of the endless possibilities when one dares to dream big and work towards their goals.
