Tusker..(whatever)
My point still stands - regardless of the fact that there is a spaceport on Kenyan soil (which is foreign designed, foreign owned, foreign operated) - we do *not* have engineering/scientific capacity for this kind of undertaking.
In addition we do not have any industrial research and development, mechanical research & development, avation/avionics research & development, advanced engineering research & development programs.
We are net consumers of high end technology - let's face it...

I willl speak to you number 4 - since many seem to be avoiding it.
To land on the moon - or even simply carry out space flight is a feat of engineering - simply put, we don't have the engineering capacity in Kenya. In addition to that we are not innovating in that direction...

Now as I was crawling in traffic, with that bad road leading from Nakumatt Ukay towards the Westlands roundabout, something crossed my mind.
In 1969 was the Apollo 11 Launch.
Questions:
1. What type of computers were the Americans using in 1969 which made them so confident to place a soul (not the American flag) on the moon?
2. Why the hell did they call it Apollo? And why 11 and not 1?
3. When did Kenya start using computers? <LOL>
4. What vision figure does Kenya attach to landing it's own man on the moon? Vision 7070, ama?
