This sounds like an Onion story. It’s not. The UAE is heading to Mars with a rocket.
However, the robotic spaceship will not actually touch down on the Martian surface.
It will blast off aboard a Japanese rocket and then go into orbit around the planet.
!snip!
The rocket is called Hope.
My guess it’s because they hope it crash lands into Israel.
Seriously, though. Hope is a terrible name. It’s borrowed from their greatest living Muslim proponent, Barack Hussein Obama.
Let’s rename it!!

They’re launching a Mufti-Stage rocket.

Whoops. Turns out the story is fake.
It was about Muslims doing what they normally do, launching rocks, not rockets.
Some disgruntled progressive thought it was only fair to include Muslims in the 21st century and puffed up the story
(Kidding. The story is real.)
Look, Ma! Imam astronaut!

On the other hand it could just be a way to get enough technical information for them (or their buddies) to create a working ICBM. Unless the Japanese keep everything behind a big curtain and didn’t let anyone from the UAE closer then a checkbook I might be concerned.
Keep a sharp eye on that “countdown clock”…

That crew would be smarter than your average follower of mo
Loco.
I think their headed for Uranus.
There’s nothing there to rape, nothing to steal, nothing to blow up, why would they want to go at all?
Is NASA’s mission still to boost Muslim self esteem ?
Sixth Century Astronauts Kneel Armstrong & Boom Aldrin will be first on Mars.
This is wonderful news! At least it is if they’re planning colony ships to move all the mohammadmen from Earth to Mars. I might actually reconsider the “Coexist” crap if they all were on a different planet.
Wait.
Camels can fly?
How unkind of you commenters. You do realize that they gave us the number “zero,” which made mathematics the exacting science that it is today.
Since then they have given us uh, er, “zero.”

Several questions: How much camel power will this rocket generate?
Is it a one way trip? How many muzzies can it carry?
“Last year, religious leaders in the UAE issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims from landing on Mars.”
Said moham-moham-mohamed Mohamed(Nickname Crash) of the muslim group “Earth First!”
Earth First is a grass-roots muslim group dedicated to screwing up what they already started screwing up before they go off to screwup something else.
Their motto: “Earth First! We’ll Fook Up the Other Plantets Next!”
Well allah be damned. So THAT’s what the Iranians have been up to.
Mars? I thought you said “flight to MOSQUE.”
2017 A Space Idiocy
I’d walk a mile for a camel!
Fly all the way to Mars for a goat!
Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai!!!!!
Although the rocket will not be manned, engineers have already named the robot this spacecraft will carry around the earth over the USA a couple of times and then head to Mars. This nuclear-powered robot is expected to ensure that the muslim world becomes the technological equal of the USA, and is already named “EMP Deliverer 1”.
Biggest challenge for UAE engineers: how to prevent recirculating B.O. air from killing the crew….
Muslim Imams issued a fatwa on intelligence.
Mars aint the kind of place to stone your bints
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no rocks there TO-O stone them .. if you tried
And all that science I dont understand

“Liftoff in 10…9…8……uh, what comes after 8? No, no, not 9, you stupid! We’ve already done 9!”
“My Allah, it’s full of goats!”
The only way they would ever go to Mars is to drop a bomb on it after Israel moves there.
