That is what I do, I m a poet.

Here's Manawer performing it in front of the judges and a live audience

Manawer is of Pakistani descent but grew up in Essex, England.

The beautiful canvas and rubber skylights got eaten by the sun in six months.

You see, hummingbirds are not hypersonic, but they are maneuverable.

These are the galleries with the light coming in through the skylights, and at night, and on opening day.

British Muslim mental health activist Hussain Manawer won a trip aboard a commercial spacecraft.

Manawer now speaks out regularly about mental health and hopes his trip to space will allow him more opportunities to bring it up.

Manawer says he never dreamed of going to space, and while he s grateful for the opportunity he s still not sure if space travel is for him.

Hussain Manawer thinks he is jinxed he gets stopped so often. He has been questioned at airports from LA to Macedonia, but jokes he doesn t get stopped anymore because they all know him now.

And after a poem he wrote won him a space flight, he received widespread attention when during a speech in Thailand he said, My name is Hussain Manawer, and I am not a terrorist. Manawer says he said it in response to the many racial profiling incidences he has experienced.

Since winning the contest, Manawer, 26, has been giving talks to raise awareness on the subject. He became passionate about the issue after a friend was diagnosed with depression, but felt too uncomfortable disclosing it to his family.
