@Wash, I am see the space industry taking more of a private sector approach toward space as opposed to state sponsored exploration. Agencies like NASA have had their budgets cut, and the US Government seems to favor private companies such as SpaceX to carry on research and development of space industry. Now you can see where this is headed. If the approach works, space will become an commodity, just the PC and the internet, which stared as Government/Education Institution funded projects eventually became. It will become a matter of whether now we can afford it. If Kenya need to be in space, and we have a some spare money, we may just contract these companies to take us there. Think of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic. Hell, if you have a few million dollars of change, you will be able to go to the moon. So the era of nations competing to go to the moon will be over. So to answer your original question, Kenya will probably never get a chance to go to the moon as a project of national pride. The novelty will have worn off by the time we have eradicated hunger, tribalism, political strife, urban decay, slums, health sector collapse, marginalized peoples and other social ills to get time to think about the space.
