Dear U.A.E. Could You Use Your Absolutely Stunning Space Program To Send Kuwait Out Near Pluto?

The Emirates have a seriously good space program. On July 23, 2014 we posted "United Arab Emirates Plans to Create Space Program, Land Mars Probe". On February 10, 2021 the story was "The U.A.E.'s Emirates Mars Mission Has Begun Orbiting The Red Planet" Less than seven years. Stunning.

And Kuwait?

First Saddam set the country on fire, I forget why, probably some sort of insurance scam:

VIDEO: World’s biggest tire graveyard in Kuwait on fire 

The world’s largest tire dump at the Al Sulaibiya tire site in Kuwait is on fire and is visible on satellite images. The tire graveyard is estimated to have 7 million tires, a social media post reads.

I am afraid Greta Thunberg is going to have a stroke before she can sail to Scotland for the big climate conference in October.

So UAE, if you could maybe do a joint venture with Space-X, I hear Elon just hung 29 (!) Raptor engines on the big, big rocket.

So, if you could, help a brother out, and maybe save Greta to boot.
