This week we take a stellar trip with the Emiratis, whove pushed out the boundaries of human knowledge by sending an unmanned probe into Martian orbit.
Yes, the Emirs of Sands are now on cloud nine, or even above it, and heres why they successfully launched a space probe to Mars. Amazing. Well, when I say they launched a space probe the US built it, the Japanese launched it, and an Iranian woman managed it.
But, fair enough, apparently Abu Dhabi paid for it with a rumoured price tag of 200 million dollars. That buys the right to have it flown in the name of the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center. Maybe it means that instead of using computer code, the probe now speaks Arabic.
