UAE space tourist's flight on Blue Origin delayed

Engineers are making repairs on the spacecraft's back-up systems as a precaution

A Blue Origin flight that will launch a UAE resident into space has been delayed to allow engineers to make repairs on the spacecraft.

Hamish Harding, 50, a British adventurer who has lived in the Emirates for more than a decade, was due to fly on the New Shepard suborbital flight on Friday.

The space tourism company has not announced a new date yet.

“During our final vehicle check-outs, we observed one of New Shepard's back-up systems was not meeting our expectations for performance,” said Blue Origin in a statement.

“In an abundance of caution, we will be delaying the NS-21 launch originally scheduled for Friday. Stay tuned for further updates."

Mr Harding is a businessman who owns Action Aviation, which provides aircraft brokerage services to many business jet and helicopter owners.

However, he is better known in the UAE for his adrenalin-fuelled stunts, including journeying to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine in 2021.

Other paying customers in the NS-21 flight include space tourist Evan Dick; electrical engineer and former Nasa test engineer Katya Echazarreta, also the first Mexican-born woman to fly into space; civil production engineer Victor Correa Hespanha; and adventurer Jaison Robinson.

This mission will be the fifth human flight for Blue Origin’s New Shepard programme and the team was announced by the company on May 9.

Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin has its eye on UAE desert for spaceport

The space tourism company has launched 20 people on these flights since 2021, including company owner and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Star Trek actor William Shatner.

The suborbital flight involves a vertical launch that takes passengers about 106 kilometres above the ground, bringing a few minutes of weightlessness.

It is a 10-minute trip from lift-off near the rural West Texas town of Van Horn to a parachute landing.

The ticket price of a Blue Origin flight has not been revealed, but a ticket was previously sold for $28 million in an auction.

Which honey takes your fancy?

Al Ghaf Honey

The Al Ghaf tree is a local desert tree which bears the harsh summers with drought and high temperatures. From the rich flowers, bees that pollinate this tree can produce delicious red colour honey in June and July each year

Sidr Honey

The Sidr tree is an evergreen tree with long and strong forked branches. The blossom from this tree is called Yabyab, which provides rich food for bees to produce honey in October and November. This honey is the most expensive, but tastiest

Samar Honey

The Samar tree trunk, leaves and blossom contains Barm which is the secret of healing. You can enjoy the best types of honey from this tree every year in May and June. It is an historical witness to the life of the Emirati nation which represents the harsh desert and mountain environments

ETFs explained

Exhchange traded funds are bought and sold like shares, but operate as index-tracking funds, passively following their chosen indices, such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and the FTSE All World, plus a vast range of smaller exchanges and commodities, such as gold, silver, copper sugar, coffee and oil.

ETFs have zero upfront fees and annual charges as low as 0.07 per cent a year, which means you get to keep more of your returns, as actively managed funds can charge as much as 1.5 per cent a year.

There are thousands to choose from, with the five biggest providers BlackRock’s iShares range, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors SPDR ETFs, Deutsche Bank AWM X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.
