So basically you are braying like a donkey about nothing. Every developer of advanced technologies has laws on re-export.
>prohibits international collaboration.
China steal technology relentlessly. They stole US technology to use on their nuclear ICBMs. This is why there is such rules to try to limit their thieving. (The Wolf Amendment)
I understand that to people like you, every piece of intellectual property in the world belongs to the CCP. The UAE entered into a legal agreement it understood to buy components for its missions. It is not being "unfairly restricted". Now your greed is driving you be angry that you cannot get your hands on those components to steal the IP from.
They can buy the components China already stole from others. :)
Have a nice day.

Well, I clearly hit a nerve.
> If you buy components from a country you are subject to their export controls. Its hardly rocket science.
Correct. That’s disappointing, though. It limits the abilities of countries to develop their own space industries and prohibits international collaboration. It’s disappointing.

Misinformation:
The northern lights is an effect of the suns radiation penetrating the atmosphere. The assertion of it being blown by the wind gives the false impression that the wind on the Earth is blowing the lights. This is not the case.
The reason the northern lights are reaching further towards the equator is because the Earth's magnetic field is weakening and the solar emissions are able to effect the Earth to a greater degree.

>My guess
Why should we pay attention to your guesses? Are you an expert on UAE space projects?
>I think a lot of countries are getting tired of being subject long arm jurisdiction of the US. UAE can't even develop its own space program without approval of the US.
They built a rover using ITAR parts because they are the cheapest and the most widely bought. They have been launched towards the Moon on a SpaceX flight using a Japanese lander.

You appear high on opinion and low on information.
If you buy components from a country you are subject to their export controls. Its hardly rocket science.

Well hopefully you can get a shot at redemption here soon! The next total solar eclipse in the US will be next year in 2024 (march/april?). The next one after that will not occur until 20 years later in 2044 :|

Wasn't the last space race just War: Lite? Definitely preferred to War: Nuclear Annihilation, but only because space is way cooler

For another layer, Vancouver, WA is in Clark County, which is also the name of the county that has Las Vegas, NV.

What orbital service is Bezos currently providing?
Not only is he years late on his orbital rocket. His inability to deliver functioning engines on time is also grounding rockets of other companies!

My bad, turns out they have a sister subreddit r/AskAstrophotography for questions.
They also have quite a comprehensive starters guide in their wiki.
