Points for effort.

At least theyre doing something constructive. Unlike these guys, just in case you need a reminder of what Ugandans do in their free time.

Hopefully they're not starting from scratch? There are a lot of hard lessons getting aircraft that high.

I haven't seen the video but I read that the dude was going to simulate zero-g for training by putting a jet motor at one end of a room and a dude at the other, so I'm guessing they are starting from scratch..

Well hopefully they don't face the disasters that nearly all other nations have have have embarked on such endeavors.

I also like that they're building it in the back yard of my Grandpa's house.

Found this. I grew up in zambia. In a way it doesnt surprise me.

When they started rolling down the hill in oil drums I had to slap myself though.

I don't remember if I ever asked, but why were you growing up in Zambia anyway? Were your parents missionaries?

 

[mechanicallizard]

Hahaha no man. They moved there because uk sucks ass to live in. And it used to be easier to make money over there. Nowadays not so much

No idea where you are, but what experience I have of living in the uk, and from alot of the people I know there,
its like living in a sealed ziplock bag full of cat shit. In fact that kinda sounds more fun.
