The Space Race became an important part of the cultural and technological rivalry between the USSR and the United States during the 1960’s and the early part of the 70’s. But with all these efforts to date, only 3 civilians have been able to finance their multi-million dollar voyage to the International Space Station.

With the recent advent of the Ansari X Prize, the solar system got a lot more interesting with the possibility of affordable suborbital voyages for the rest of us. Space Adventures are working currently on construction of two earth-based Spaceports that will offer suborbital spaceflights, as well as astronaut training facilities. The first facility will be located in Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, while Singapore’s Changi Airport will grow to accommodate the second Spaceport. The both facilities will offer suborbital voyages as main attraction. Space Adventures has yet to announce how much these voyages will cost tourists, but they are adamant that they will be affordable (for someone:) ). I am currently preparing some information about Space Adventures` tourist service so stay in touch…

The United Arab Emirates is well placed on the world map of international sport by hosting some of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. The infrastructure and facilities are world-class and has marked the UAE as the sporting capital of the Middle East. The 2006-2007 racing season began in November with the Winter Racing Challenge, the 2007 Dubai International Racing Carnival starts on 18th January and the season culminates with the world’s richest race, the Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airline on Saturday 31st March 2007. Along with the Dubai World Cup, there are a further five Thoroughbred Group races and a Group One for Purebred Arabians, ensuring the day is one of the most significant in global Thoroughbred horse racing. The Carnival, which last year attracted over 200 horses from 14 countries, runs over 10 meetings at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse. In addition to the racing, the Dubai Racing Club will be organising a number of glamorous social occasions, including the ever popular Fillies & Fashions.
