Avatar

The head-scratcher of the week has just been announced, but if you’ve lived in Dubai for any length of Dubai, you’ll know the impossible is nothing and this news should not surprise you.

TheĀ UAE Space Agency made an announcement at the 6th Liwa Ajman Dates and Honey Festival, it’s regarding palm trees, and Mars.

According to Wam.ae who shared the announcement, the ‘agencyā€™s plan is to send palm tree seeds to the International Space Agency, which will perform experiments and send the seeds to Mars for cultivation.’

The aim is to create food security

Always ahead of the game, the move will support scientific research in the space sector and ‘strengthen the UAEā€™s efforts to create local and international partnerships that will create food security on the Earth and in space’.

The agency declared it will send palm tree seeds to the International Space Agency over the coming days. Truly amazing.
