#3 Would the UAE be able to run a thing as complicated as a spaceport without American expertise? And wouldn't the construction company have the plans on file in case it were necessary to take care of things.... later?

#5 Lotta spaceports popping up now. Florida, Texas New Mexico. Now the UAE.... um anyone lauched anything yet? Any concrete plans to?

Step this way to see the future site of the golf course overlooking the future spaceport. Buy your lots now before the hoi and the poloi hear about it.

#9 And surely the Emiris would NEVER nationalize anything as trivial as a spaceport, yes?

You know, this actualy makes a kind of sense, we have those 6 seaports they want to buy, they would have a spaceport.
Sounds like interconnecting assets, we hold yours, you hold ours kinda thing.

#13 A UAE spaceport and UAE port security in the US. Have we lost our minds? We are going transfer a little space technology to the UAE and allow an UAE company to run our port security? What, pray tell, would happen if someone shows a cartoon of Muhammad to one of the port security officials or at the spaceport?
