Uhuru has moved kenya for a poor backward 3rd world country to a first world forward looking respected country. Meanwhile UDAkus are only thinking about wilbaros. #Inawezekana

The first outer-space object registered by Kenya has been launched and is now flying over our heads. The news: Created by the University of Nairobi, satellite 1KUNS-PF was launched from the International Space Station. The cube-sat was originally launched to the station on an April resupply mission. This makes Kenya the first sub-Saharan African nation to deploy a nano-satellite into space. Some background: NASA did launch a satellite from Kenya back in the 1970s, but it was not a Kenya-centric project and did little to benefit the country. Why it matters: The barriers to space exploration are being lowered, giving more countries access to space. Cube satellites such as this one will enable things like environmental monitoring, weather forecasting, crop monitoring, forest management, and wildlife tracking.
These days nothing is ever 100% produces from a specific place. Even NASA. It’s still a major achievement since many Kenyan bonobos had not discovered the wheel well into the 1800s.
Very misleading thread. Admins kindly edit the title to [SIZE=6]“SpaceX launches Kenyan made satellite into space - Wanafunzi wa UON wamefanya kazi buana” [/SIZE]
