Beyond borders, beyond barriers, beyond limits

In a world of opportunities, many more await their discovery. Huawei believes a bold spirit of Exploration can unfold exciting journeys leading to innovation, inspiration and ideas. Directed by a perceptive sense of curiosity, Exploration is the spirit that energizes and empowers the future to a better connected world.

Exploration drives innovation

"We had just become a different species, no longer confined to our planet," says Ron Garan, former American NASA astronaut and F-16 pilot, "I wanted to be a part of that group of explorers."

Being an astronaut is a dream for many, yet an experience for the few. For Ron Garan, it all started when as a seven-year-old, he witnessed the first two humans land on the Moon, July 20,1969, on the Apollo 11 mission.

"We had just become a different species, no longer confined to our planet," says Ron Garan, former American NASA astronaut and F-16 pilot, "I wanted to be a part of that group of explorers."

Having logged over 13 days in space and over 27 hours of EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) in spacewalks, he mirrors the thoughts of former fellow astronaut William Anders, who shot the famous Earthrise photograph of our planet from Apollo 8. Anders once said, "We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth."

Ron believes that if 15 different nations can put on a united front and collaborate towards building the International Space Station (IST), great potential awaits mankind’s future.

"Imagine what we can do if we take that same level of cooperation and bring it down to the Earth's surface" says Ron.

Garan’s orbital perspective is a movement we can partake in to preserve the beauty of the planet we all call home.

As he says, "We are one people, travelling on one planet, towards one common future."

Because when mankind looks out into space, we rediscover ourselves.
