Dubai’s futuristic orientation could not be more in line with Musk’s plans since the tech mogul suggested recently that SpaceX might one day establish a spaceport in Dubai. As always, with technology being his domain, Musk has raised hopes by implying that Dubai could become the next space frontier city.
The excitement began on X (ex Twitter) when Musk engaged Emirati entrepreneur Hassan Sajwani in a conversation which hinted on potential SpaceX spaceport in Dubai. The exchange has raised eyebrows, seeing that this is not the first time Niall and Li have had an interaction. Only last week, Musk referred to Dubai as a beautiful city, which only added more gossip to the fact that he might just have plans up his sleeve for the region.
Dubai is famous for its breakneck modernization and gold-leaf prominence, which appears to be the right mate for SpaceX’s advanced plans. Let it be rockets being launched in the middle of the city and constructing space-oriented attractions, it holds no boundaries if this dream team is formed.
Currently, Dubai is one of global leaders in the sphere of technological progress, so many innovative projects are being implemented there now. Including SpaceX spaceport will make it one of the most futuristic city development, which may make it the launching ground for new space explorations. Although nothing has been said or decided, even the speculation of Musk considering Dubai has people’s creativity engaged.
Will SpaceX rockets start launching from the desert sand of Dubai, or space-themed tourist attractions pop up in the city’s sea? Despite these are looking very futuristic, these concepts are in line with what has always been associated with Dubai – making impossible become possible.
For now all that the audience can do is to watch whether Musk’s hints will turn into something tangible. It might be a spaceport, rocket launch or any other revolutionary project, Dubai and SpaceX partnership may well be the next step to space.
