11 Arab Countries Take On NASA, Launch Own Space Program

[The SC]

How? I have had this belief from my own views. In the modern world religion is irrelevant.

Well brother, our religion says to follow science.. so be it relevant or irrelevant, science is the way..

The Arab world is almost half or third of the Islamic world, the more developed it becomes the more beneficial it will be to the rest of the Islamic world.. it is like strengthening your body, you can only do it by yourself..but it will make you a good help for a bigger brother if he needs you one day and a motivation and help to your younger or smaller brother to do the same.. at the end everyone will be strong..So the sum will be bigger and stronger then just the addition of individual states..

We are happy if the Arabs progress and get independent from the west. It is great for all the Muslims and for that reason if Turkey, Indonesia or Malaysia develop on some front, we get happy even if it does not benefit us directly.

Well brother, our religion says to follow science.. so be it relevant or irrelevant, science is the way..

What is irrelevant?

Dear brother, we should drop these ethnic and nationalist prejudices. Allah says that We made in tribes and nations only you for identification purposes. But Islam discourages discrimination based on tribes, ethnicity. Holy Prophet (ﷺ) clearly discussed in khutba hajjatul wida and he said no Arab is superior to any non-Arab and vice versa. Only one who fears Allah the most is closer to Allah ( but this is between Allah and the person).

Brother, there is no discrimination in pursuing science.. if you feel able you can purse it, it takes nothing from others..Take the example of Pakistan.. without taking the science way, it would have never reached the nuclear achievement.. and what did the Arabs do apart from supporting and encouraging Pakistan on all levels..and by all means..

Brother as I said we are happy with Arab developing but we should not make discrimination based on race because it is called racism.

We have been too busy being at each others throats
We still are.

definatily the reason khalifat died and when they were born now they have devision of higher arab and lower arabs yamen is mother of arab are not even in GCC and 70% of khaleeji are some how related from Yamen. just cuz they are poor they cant make korea to built satellite they are not included in 11 arab nasa.

What happened in the past is past now. They are our brothers and we should invite them towards the guidance and message of Islam as preached and practiced by the Holy Prophet (ﷺ)

I live in 21 century and this is the century of Islam because only Islam has the solution for modern problems the humanity faces.

Well, the Christian world has been applying Islam's best practices since the after their dark ages in the 15th century, when Islam brought light to them.. time to use that light for ourselves now.. since they were bad trying to keep Muslims in the dark.. call it jealousy or what ever, but they want to keep the lead handed to them by Islam.. the ting is that they can not keep Muslims in the dark as long as the latter is believing in the light of Islam..

We have been too busy being at each others throats
We still are.

No problem if the other hand is doing something good and worthy..

You have the money but from where will you get the scientist?

Read the OP article again.. most of these 11 Arab countries already make their own satellites.. does not that mean that they have space scientists.. or do you want to sell some of yours..

Brother as I said we are happy with Arab developing but we should not make discrimination based on race because it is called racism.

When your immediate family is having a reunion, does that mean you are discriminating against your cousins, uncles, aunts and other relatives? absolutely not..

That's true. Muslims contributed a lot to the science while the Europe was submerged in the dark ages. They benefitted from the all that work but dishonestly they do not give credit to where it is due.

 

[The SC]

11 countries for just one satellite!!!!
They must use this capacity for a launcher
Arabs need family of launchers

Step by step.. KSA already got the tech for the second stage of a launcher. so launchers are coming soon too..

so no arab are pure arab is that what you saying is mean till he get arab nationality you confusing all of us.. are you arab?

He is talking about the Arabs who went far away..

The Khilafat died, due to poor lines of comm, policy failures, nepotism, corruption, alcohol, women, and siding with Nazis.

But you feel free to believe what you want to.

The issue in the Arab world is the lack of STEM graduates, on top of that most Arabs that pursue a field in STEM (including engineering) are women whom tend to do it for the sake of the paper, raising their value as a prospect in the eyes of other families, she will barely put it to use in the industry or academia as she will get married and become a housewife. The men are obsessed with becoming a doctor or some other profession society ties a high status to. That's already half of the population which can be scrapped, they're certainly not going to work in the west. Now as for the Arabs who ended up as refugees in the west, most of them are not doing so well. The 80's and 90's migration wave from Iraq are doing well, large part of the post 2003 and 2014 ones along with the Syrian migration wave didn't pursue higher education, as for those who did very few went into STEM apart from the medicine part.

Iranians are outnumbering Arabs in STEM, which is not only what I see from news reports but through my eyes having been at some technical universities. Not surprising their industries are developing whilst Arab states rely on western companies ToT and setting up local production.

Here in North America, it is the opposite.. you'll find mainly Arabs in STEM.. Iranians are a rare sight..

My vision is an OIC Space Agency with all OIC members countries participating in various capacities while Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and GCC countries playing the leading role while we can seek cooperation from China, West and/or Russia.

 

[Philip the Arab]

If 813 launch in 3 years is successful there should be multiple satelittes being manufacutred at the same time. There are 11 countries with millions of young engineers capable of satellite manufacutirng with the right training. I could see many satellites being produced by different groups at the same time. Most important thing here is definitely launch capabilities... Ukraine is already available, but Pakistan could also make some.

 

[aziqbal]

Arab space programme?

what launching with American rockets only with Israels permission

kind of pointless unless you have your own launch rockets

Does Pakistan have its own rockets? You rely on Chinese rockets. We can launch from Ukranian rockets, Russian rockets, Chinese rockets, Japanese rockets, etc.

We have many options for TOT from Ukraine, and any nation who is developing launch capabilities including Pakistan.
