Delivered by the SayPro Royal Committee Non-executive member-Timothy Magoro

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Distinguished Guests, Partners, Youth Leaders, and Global Citizens,
On this remarkable day — National Astronaut Day 2025 — the SayPro Royal Committee extends heartfelt recognition to the men and women who have looked to the skies not with fear, but with hope and conviction.
We gather today to honour astronauts — past, present, and future — not simply for their incredible achievements in space, but for the powerful message they send to all of us here on Earth: that dreams backed by courage, science, and unity can reach beyond the stars.
Astronauts are more than explorers of the universe. They are beacons of possibility. They represent what humanity can accomplish when we work together, when we believe in the power of progress, and when we commit to lifting others as we rise.
At SayPro, and particularly within the Royal Committee, we believe that the mission of exploration does not begin at the launch pad. It begins in the classroom, in community programmes, in mentorship, and in leadership development. It begins with a child looking at the sky and daring to ask, “Why not me?”
That is why SayPro invests in the people behind the missions. Through our leadership programmes, youth empowerment initiatives, innovation hubs, and skills training efforts, we are preparing a new generation — a generation that doesn’t just dream of space, but has the tools, guidance, and opportunity to reach it.
2025 is a turning point. Humanity is preparing to live and work beyond Earth in ways never imagined before. But as we look outward, we must also look inward — to ensure that our future in space reflects the values we hold dear: equity, inclusion, sustainability, and shared progress.
To the astronauts who have paved the way — thank you for showing us what is possible.
To those in training — we believe in your mission and your purpose.
To the young people watching from every corner of the world — know this: you belong in the future of exploration. And SayPro is here to walk that journey with you.
Let this National Astronaut Day not only celebrate the stars, but ignite the spark within every person who dares to dream, to question, to innovate, and to lead.
From the SayPro Royal Committee — we extend our gratitude, our admiration, and our unwavering support.
The sky is no longer the limit — it is the invitation.
Let us rise — together.
Thank you, and happy National Astronaut Day 2025.
