America Really Does Have a Space Force. We Went Inside to See What It Does

 

 

The Race for Mars

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) just launched a space probe destined for Mars on top of a Japanese rocket. While launching such a mission of discovery is par for the course for many space powers, including India, this is the first such advanced satellite launch by the UAE. Several of the seven Emirates that make up that nation have pinned hopes and dreams of establishing their own spaceports for commercial space travel. However, with little history or traction of space research or rocketry, nations like the UAE might find it difficult to compete even with the likes of China and India, let alone the US or Russia to attract space researchers, scientists and even a plethora of private companies entering the space sector. This probe, therefore, is a statement of intent more than anything else. By now, we have a greater understanding of the Martian surface than we do of the bottom of our own ocean.
