Kite flying
"Then launching 600,000 people to inhabit Mars in 100 years. Really?"
I do know a little about the UAE, and they are great kite fliers. Don't get me wrong, they have, in their own way, achieved a heck of a lot, the entire country is unrecognizable from just the few years ago when they discovered oil. But, even relatively down to earth projects like new shopping malls, or the islands that they like to make out of sand, are nearly always late, or dont appear at all. I get the feeling that people tell Sheikh Mo exactly what they think he'd like to hear, without thinking too much about actual delivery.
