Why did the "Probe of Hope" go to Mars? Why did the UAE plan and implement this very advanced scientific step? And why Mars?

These and many other questions were repeated from the announcement of the project of the probe of hope, until yesterday when the Japanese missile launched the probe to put it on its path successfully, and for those who want to know the answers of these questions clearly, directly and explicitly, he must hear it from His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, may God protect him, so why did His Highness answer the reasons for the UAE's taking this exceptional historical journey?

His Highness put forward five reasons that drive the UAE to take this exceptional trip, as the first Arab country to go to outer space, where His Highness stopped at the first reason, saying: “We will go to Mars because space programs are a gateway to science, and it is a gateway for building scientists, and we have no future without science. We have no future without knowledge. ”

The second reason: "We will go to Mars because we want to instill in our young men and women a new culture ... that nothing is impossible for the Emirates and the Emiratis ... and that if we resolve, we implement ... and if we dream, we achieve our dreams."

As for the third reason, it is "because we want our country to be at the forefront of the Arab scientific renaissance ... the journey of Mars is a message of hope for all Arabs ... that we can compete with the world in technology, science and knowledge ... and the UAE is today leading the Arab knowledge shift."

The fourth reason, which His Highness determined, is: “We will go to Mars because Mars is a means to a greater end. Our aim is not to build a probe and launch it. They complete building a person with his knowledge, knowledge, abilities and ambitions that reach the heavens. ”

His Highness summarized the fifth reason by saying: “We will go to Mars because we want to start a new journey in our country .. the journey of the next 50 years .. 50 years ago in the Emirates .. where we started from the desert of our country .. and we want the next 50 years to start from the desert of Mars. Because we are a people who knows the impossible ... and nothing can stand in front of our high ambitions. ”

The answers are comprehensive and comprehensive, and the most important question that we must ask remains to everyone who asks why we went to Mars: Why do we not go? What prevents an ambitious country that has persistence and determination and has unlimited vision and development goals to put its scientific footprint among adults?

The "probe of hope" that launched successfully toward the Red Planet tells every moment, and every second of its long journey, the story of the success of a small, ambitious, and highly accomplished country, a country that not only dreams, but rather seeks to turn every dream into reality and reality, a state She does not recognize empty slogans and rhetoric, but rather seeks to write a new history, making her line up with her actions and accomplishments with adults in the adult club, the space club that the Arabs have not touched before, to represent all the Arab and Islamic nation in this very advanced club.
