Saudi sheikh Ali al Hemki declares fatwa against manned missions to Mars.HT: TundraTabloids.
A member Saudi Arabia’s board of religious
scholars Sheikh Ali al Hemki has criticised the Mars One project which is
attempting to organise a commercial mission to the red planet and has drawn
expressions of interest from more than 200 thousand people worldwide.
The Ah Hayat newspaper quotes him as saying the
mission does not conform to “responsible Muslim” practices.
“These experiments will lead to the destruction
of those who try,” and so should be done with animals, not people,” he said.
“Believers should not should throw themselves into their own hands into
perdition. ”While 477 Saudi citizens have applied for the mission, only six have so far been accepted.
The Mars One project aims to create the first human settlement on the Solar System’s second-smallest planet.
More than 2500 Australians have applied for the one-way trip to Mars, which will double as a reality TV show.Hmmm......MARS.........'The Final frontier'.
