Guess what Space Cadets? It's time for a NEWS BLAST! Did you know the UAE has a Space Program, let alone a Mars Orbiter? Come hang out with us while we take you through an overview of the Hope Probe!

Note from Anna: It's Jim Bridenstine not Jim Birdenstine. I always get that wrong. My apologies to Mr. Bridenstine and all the members of the JBFC (http://jimbridenstinefan.club/)
