The UAE astronaut was speaking in an exclusive interview alongside crew members from the United States and Russia as they discussed their joint NASA SpaceX Crew-6 mission.
"It was seven hours and it was really, really, incredible just the amount of emotions initially when we got out of the airlock, was really surreal," he said.
"Going out with a good friend like Steve Bowen it was amazing, as a rookie astronaut going outside it meant everything. I would say that it was the crown jewel of the mission."
