While I was in Mecca, I did walk around the shopping malls. Although I didn't shop much, but one thing strikes great interest in me. One mall's sign seems to imply they may have a Planetarium. \(◠v◠)/ I'd love to visit it. But, I didn't find it. Maybe they're building it? I don't know. But it'd be great! The Mecca Planetarium. Isn't it easier to have faith when you know you have your Commandments - like everything else in the universe. *sujud* ماشاء الله
Yes, everything in this universe is obedient to The Law. E.g.: the Earth complete its orbits around the sun every 12 months, the solar system completes its orbits around the Milky Way every 200-250 million years. Asteroids paths can be figured as it follows the Laws of Physics [video]. كل في فلك يسبحون [Q21:33], الشمس والقمر بحسبان [Q55:5] & like it or not, you won't be flying off to deep space thanks to gravity.
Yes, Arabs had been supporting space missions years ago

For me, it's valuable to understand our existence in the universe. The Milky Way is one from over 100 BILLIONS galaxies that can be seen. [NASA] So, are there life like us in other galaxies? Or should we just ignore it all? We should know - why we live and exist. With space missions, we may even learn & understand the Holy Quran's truth, as to embrace life as muslims. For example:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Then He (Allah) Istaw (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come, willingly." [Holy Quran 41:11]
ثم استوى إلى السماء وهي دخان فقال لها وللأرض ائتيا طوعا أو كرها قالتا أتينا طائعين
Smoke, as in dust & gas in a nebula which come together (tawaf) as a new galaxy?
There are many Holy Quran verses which can be understood by observing space | QA (*v*)
Research can also discover the fragilities of life on Earth. A series of mass extinctions have wiped out life on Earth since ages. Mass extinction wiped out the Permian Era. Then the Earth was resurrected with the Dinosaur Era, which then was wiped out by an asteroid impact. Then the Earth was resurrected again, with humans. After each mass extinctions, the Earth was resurrected with the next generation of species. يحيي الأرض بعد موتها [Q30:50], إن يشأ يذهبكم ويأت بخلق جديد [Q14:19]
Good luck, mankind. So, will we ever build an escape rocket? (◠v◠)
I seek refuge from Allah SWT from errors.
Only Allah Knows Best. والله أعلم
