As Countdown Looms, Israel’s Moon Bid Already a Winner

The irony is palpable. Here in the US, any attempt to return to the moom has been shelved due to Islamic sensitivities, And a recent Fatwa by 7th Century Islamic scholars having forbidden Muslims from living on Mars, as if. while at the same time Israel in pursuing the advanced technology to conquer the moon or at least benefit from the technological benefits such a project will bring. Let the Iranians put monkeys or pigs in space.

just had an idea for a scifi story, jews escape oppression by leaving Earth!

[Army Air Corps]

One of my favourite scenes from History of the World Part I.

Might require a change of genres from scifi to non-fiction.

Hey, that's my idea. Have had it for the last 50 years. Jews build a fleet of spacecraft, build a settlement on Mars, and call it New Israel, to escape oppression by others on Earth. Of course, Palestinians will claim the Jews stole the Mars land from them.

So much for NASA’s muslim outreach. Guess they had better stick to trying to sell global warming.

I read a novel based on that premise in (I think) the 80s. Can’t remember the title, though.

If they were impish they would have named it EXODUS

I never get tired of that scene.

Well, there would have to be a reversal of that Fatwa prohibiting Mohammedans from going to Mars.

I heard about that Fatwa but don’t get it. Why just Mars? Can’t they have a Fatwa prohibiting them from going to decadent western nations? A billion muslims can’t compete with a tiny nation with one-thousandth the population because the muslim culture fosters hate and not love for life. Israel reaches to the heavens while muslims snarl in the dirt.
