UAE Space Program = People Happiness
A space program cannot run its systems and operations without ingenious inventions to make it work. Inventions like batteries, solar panels, memory foam, insulation, workout machines, freeze drying and water filters are what composes a space program, and are adapted humans for general purpose. This largely improves the quality of life of humans; therefore, we are happier.
