At least some good news! Advancing technology, but what would it bring our PPL, work and development? Then its OK: Cannot waste $$$ only for the sake of keeping up with the neighbour! Now when will we build our own Shuttle, Cape-Newlands! 
One little problem: How are they going to ship the terabytes(petabytes?) of data overseas? The (rumoured) dirty little secret of SALT is that they sometimes have to send data overseas on DVD-ROM because of the cost of broadband thanks to you know who.

Well the remnants of the Apartheid era space project is gathering dust at the museum in Pretoria. Zwartkops AFB to be pricise. We had a space project back in the day. You can blame the old government for many things, but not small dreams. We were a nuclear power FFS!

Jokes aside, hopefully this project will add some life to the local scientific community.
Yeah point taken! with pleasure, but we are in a new denomination or domination ( I never know) so things have to evolve, it will take years as according to Darwin, (the guy so many here believe in), evolution is a slo..ww process, so we have to give it some time for this to happen, so 40 decades or so. Not that I have any hope but hey we have to be at least optimistic! or leave as the ministers advise us!antowan said:
