The Lebanese Rocket Society

In the early 60s, during the cold war and apex of pan-Arabism, a group of students and researchers enter the space race and create the Lebanese Rocket Society.  The intention of the group was to "create and launch rockets for space study and exploration".  They produced the first rocket of the Arab World.  The project had no military character and was aimed at promoting science and research.  The adventure now plays out as an anecdote in the course of history, a story kept secret.
