Let's hope "Rashid" doesn't become Luna 15 to NASA's Artemis 3. |

With the peace agreement in place wouldnt be surprised to see this initiative being expanded to a joint op with the Israeli's. |

Israel has had peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan for years. In both cases it's been called a cold peace; no war, but no common projects either, as neither the Egyptian or Jordanian population is particularly friendly towards Israel. I would be very surprised if the UAE would wish to do a space project with Israel. The people of the UAE can understand why, from a national and international perspective, their country has made "peace" with Israel, but I would be amazed, given normal Arab sensitivities, if they would want to have anything to do with Israel on what is, after all, a national (and to a certain extent, Arab) prestige project. | |
