Perhaps it was a decisive moment when the clock rang, and the Emirati official announced that the "Hope Probe" had reached its orbit around Mars on February 9, 2021, a moment that the leadership of the UAE had planned for over six years, and even called it the "Hope Probe", due to the difficulty of the mission and certainty The leadership that thoughtful planning based on scientific foundations, and behind it sincere men, must be motivated by hope to achieve the impossible.

What matters to us, in addition to the success of this mission, the lessons and discoveries, and the conclusions that will inevitably benefit humanity, is the first and most important lesson that the UAE should focus on, which is the interest in research, studies and future planning in all areas of life.

From now on, the Department of Research and Planning Studies must be found in all ministries, departments and private companies, in addition to universities and schools, as well as in all areas of social, sports, scientific and artistic activities.

Just as we succeeded with distinction in our mission to Mars in all respects, so that the date and time of the entry of the probe to the Red Planet, was planned with the beginning of the mission and six years ago, and with the grace of God, things went according to the exact schedule, and all of this should be a method for the people of the Emirates in all Their projects, as every project must be studied in all respects, and its positive or negative effects on the economy and society of the UAE, in order to make a choice between what is beneficial to the country.

The necessary budgets must also be made for this, and the competent persons and analysts shall be delegated for studies and research, and given the necessary powers and adequate support.

There is no doubt that all of this will lead to the best economic results and the least possible resources, as studies and research are the necessary basis for the success of projects and the growth of countries.

Therefore, we have to exploit the space scientific boom with the arrival of an astronaut to outer space, and then the "probe of hope" to Mars, and we must instill confidence in our future generations that we are able, after research and analysis, to reach what we want, no matter how difficult or impossible the challenges are.

What matters to us on our economic side is to work on analyzing the existing data, entering the expected data in the future, to make the studies drawn for our economic future, and to make the necessary plans and alternatives.

Whoever adapts a space probe to serve it is not burdensome to work on a new economic boom, especially since the factors are available from the upcoming Expo 2020 Dubai, the huge economic boom in Saudi Arabia, and the tremendous development in Egypt, all of which must be used to serve our economy through research and studies by expert economists One of the owners of great experiences.

Studies and research are the necessary basis for the success of projects and the growth of countries. Therefore, a department for research and planning studies must be provided in all ministries, departments and private companies.
