| 2017-02-05 |
 1.465,786th holiest place in IslamThe United Arab Emirates is preparing to become the first Islamic nation to launch a mission to Mars. In 2020, an unmanned craft called Hope will take off from Japan and travel to the red planet. Last year, religious leaders in the UAE issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims from landing on Mars. However, the robotic spaceship will not actually touch down on the Martian surface. Just claim it from orbit. Seething commences |

| #2 The reason Muslims aren't supposed to go to Mars is because praying while facing Mecca becomes a problem in orbital dynamics. |
