Thus, moral adds an important dimension revealing domestic politics as a set of activities prioritizing social welfare. Furthermore, the perception of governance through the prism of virtuous leaders, as done by ethics scholars, such as al-Farabi, allows people to perceive politics as a unique ...

Space rendezvous is a precise orbital maneuver, which requires two spacecrafts to arrive at the same orbit, and move at the same speed.
