You dont know what HA ( or part of is)

The man who owns the land is gradually writing his name in the sand. Each letter is 1 km long and is joined to the sea. The Island is a private island and called fatasi . You will be able to see it from spacelab, when it is completed. Planes flying over often talk about it to their passengers. You will have to wait a while whilst the name is finshed...........

Sorry, you are wrong. Each letter is 500 meters long. Spacelab is not longer in use, so nobody can see anything from it. The aproximate altitude of the spacelab missions were between 250 and 300 km, and that would be to high to see the letters.

This mans name is HH Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan. One of the richest men en the Middle East. I have been to this Island. Its name is Fatasi Island. He owns it and a huge part is open to the public, the rest is private for his family.

Time to check your last post.

As you will see the owner has finished putting his "stamp" on the Island he owns.

You are always welcome to return and inspect.
