“The United Arab Emirates will build the first city on Mars as part of the 2117 Mars project in collaboration with specialized international organizations and scientific institutes.”

-UNOOSA (2019).

            

"It was a hazy night with a mere reflection, I have raced the moon for better days. All the glitters and gleams I shall say. I have stumbled upon wondrous lands and witnessed what exceeds the mind. Venus, Plato, and Mars…" (2017)

 

Hurr space craft touched down at the land of modern technologies, sounds of claps orchestrated around, the young gentleman smiled to himself. An engineer with the passion to innovate. Stories in the past always praised the pearl divers; and the stories of the now describes the mysterious of stars. 

 

The United Arab Emirates space program continued to grow throughout the 22nd Century. Space tourism became the norm. 

 

“Next week is the confirmed opening of the first hotel in space. Rotanev will welcome the nation’s selected ambassadors to the opening.” Announced the space commercial flights manager. 

 

Lulwa eyes lit up while sipping an iced Sesame Cherry V60, managing diplomatic protocols is her priced challenge. Her hands wrapped around her cup, while twirling her pinkie ring, waiting for her turn to speak on stage and being broadcasted worldwide. At the airport, the hallways were packed with countries' representatives. Having an international summit usually required extensive preparation, yet for this event it was even more than the usual. 

​

"Good afternoon everyone, it is such a wondrous time to witness such national achievement, I will summaries my full speech into few sentences, the main vision behind  the space tourism program is primarily focused on crafting every person's mindset, supporting all visitors to unlearn boredom, and practicing  redefining limitations. As for the first of its kind experience for everyone having the accessibility to stay days between the stars, the program ensures that everyone have a taste of top-notch experiences, from the best wellness programs, culinary experiences, and accessibility to private social events." Said the program's creative director.  

 

After the speech, the jack of all trades remained seated obsessively reviewing the ambassadors welcome dinner menu. Between the team of engineers, Lulwa was the only artist. Her art is hospitality, her canvas is gastronomy, and her painting brush is her generosity. 

​

"My name is Hazza, I'm the chief engineer and the general director of the space tourism program." He went back to his seat, allowing the audience to chatter about his limited words. 

​

He enjoyed playing mind tricks, his own kind of a delicious meal. 

​

To him, Feelings are the cheaply sourced currency and beliefs are the expensive fuel. 

​

It's the one who balance the duo of both whom is able to experience the humor of it all. 

​

To be continued.
