#1 Wow. United American Enterprises? Not the United Arab Emirates, right? Oh, wait - the UAE bought one.

The United Arab Emirates has succeeded with the initial stage of its first ever Mars mission, thanks to the launch of an H-IIA rocket built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries from Tanegashima Space Center in Japan on Sunday. The rocket carried the Al Amal (Hope) Probe for the UAE, a Mars orbiter that is set to arrive at the red planet by February 2021, and spend a Martian year (687 days) on orbit around Mars collecting data about its atmosphere.

#4 So the UAE didn't actually launch a probe, they just paid for it. That's Arab 'News'.
