University students voted: 'Gökmen' should be used instead of astronaut
After President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's announcement of the National Space Program, people from all walks of life showed interest in the exchange of ideas, which started to use a Turkish-origin word instead of the word "astronaut". The results of the word search, including university students, were revealed by a survey. University members gave the most votes for "Gökmen" to use the word "astronaut" instead.
Upon President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's call to "Come, let's find a Turkish name for Turkish space passengers", Istanbul Gelişim University students used the word "Gökmen" in their social media survey.
