I knew about China and the US and I knew about the Indians and Russians but not that the Emirates were getting involved. I suppose it's something speculative to do with your oil money while you have it. What is really interesting is that each 'visit' is looking at something different, almost as though the scientific community has co-ordinated everything.

No, I think it's because the mainstream scientific community works together and because they do, they know there's no point in duplicating research at this 'discovery' stage. Later, when all the data has been analysed is the time for repeating an experiment to confirm findings.

Also, when it comes to space exploration, countries HAVE to work together, simply due to the planet's rotation.
It was awkward at first, with Jodrell Bank publishing Russian moon pictures on the front page of British newspapers before Russia even got to see them - but I'm pretty sure most of the bumps have been ironed out.
