Muhammad Institute of Canada to build space launch and outer space exploration

The head of the Muhammad Institute for Space Science wants to build a space-launch facility in Canada.

Redouane Al Fakir’s goal is putting the Islamic world back at the forefront of scientific discovery.

But the Vancouver astrophysicist wants all Canadians to be involved in his project.

His proposed commercial space port in British Columbia would be the first of its kind in this country — and Al Fakir says it’s about time.

The way he sees it, if countries like India, China and Japan can launch satellites into space, why not Canada?






The UBC astronomer is out raising money, especially in the Middle East, but he faces a big challenge: Al Fakir estimates that it would take $100 million to build a facility, and $500 million to send up a rocket.
