Cool! I didn’t know Africa has launch vehicles. I’ll be buying a telescope to check out the African moon base.

[@mahamadoudiallo589]

So far, they built and lauched by foreign engineers. The problem with AFrica is education.

[@JeanClaude-go6br]

You'll most likely find Wakanda instead....

[@thukusimon]

Who told you education is a problem. We have many Africans working for NASA.Whenever Africans start building their aircrafts and space crafts NASA take them away​@@mahamadoudiallo589

This Is So Good To Know🚀

💗 Africa

[@JFJ12]

Africa is perfectly located geographically for geostationary satellite communications and observations.

[@mutepakabende3256]

Very interested. Thank you CGTN

[@siliphile]

Great insights. Can we do it while eradicating poverty at the same rate.

[@operarioespeculador-trader1776]

Exactly. The best regards from Brasil for our African brothers. 🙂

[@thembisilemzamo]

very good. We are eradicating poverty as we speak. Eradicating poverty and space programs are not mutually exclusive. Space programs must run at the same time, and never wait until the last citizen has been fed. Countries that are today leading in space industry started early....while there were still still a lot of poor people in their midst.

[@operarioespeculador-trader1776]

Africans in space... not possible, the cold temperatures will prevent many from wanting to go😂

[@baboucarrbojang7551]

AI--Artificial Intelligens or Space Exploration, which one should be prioritized in Africa? Thanks.

[@huttonamison-addy]

Both of possible
Currently much of africa has a better foundation in AI than but it still doesn't mean space should not be a field of interest
😁

[@thembisilemzamo]

poverty eradication and prosperity are achieved by diversifying the economy. Meaning all industries are to be actively participated upon simultaneously

[@traffier]

the issue is, those satellites are not created by Africans.

[@abkulorto7403]

Build capacity.

[@cryptopanthers]

we cant independently develop a bicycle and we wanna building rockets?? we need to grow chronologically, because corruption and governance will definitely hit us there too.

[@reynalddomingo6154]

🎉YAY

[@Obangu]

The fastest money making business in the world today is communication and Africa is catching up

[@jonesmuskiarie90]

13:58?? Launched from ISS??😂

[@thukusimon]

You can launch those small sats from the ISS. DUring space walks the astronaunts toss them into space

[@momwanafunziuumbaji3737]

You cannot survive in isolation. You cannot survive being ignorant on Earth as other countries and regions are looking down on Africa from space. You study better farming practices from space **AND** from the ground THE TWO LEVELS OF STUDY NEVER TO BE SEPARATED. Your racial enemies (wake up, grow up), those who volunteer you to be their racial enemies, hope Africans just stay on the ground while they study you from space. So knowledge is survival and planet Earth is not all there is to life.

[@MichaelVumile-jb3lb]

RSA has biggest space program, it must push for greater cooperation and joint efforts.
by 2040 Africa must send a probe to the moon

Africa's Space endeavor is like a baby not crawling but wants to walk. Africa is the poorest continent, could we address that first.

[@AlimamyBangura-p7u]

You can walk and chew gum, don't put active limitations on your self that is why most people are poor

[@JohnMwangi-jv3pp]

We r th wealthiest

[@glenwjohnson809]

@JohnMwangi-jv3pp really, I didn't know that. So, why most people in Africa don't have electricity, safe drinking water, foods, basic education, basic health care, housing?

[@arr8577]

​@@JohnMwangi-jv3ppwith high populations, low gdps of countrys,SOCIALISM- for sure.🤡

[@fabubojang6868]

How many millions of homeless people in the USA and Europe. Bro Africa is not entirely poor.

[@WaliaIbex]

First feed the people before you crsp everywhere 😂😂😂

[@Clyde-b9h]

Alkebulan needs it's own ROCKET and MOTOR developed. Until that happens then it's all cheap talk... AFRICAN BRAIN POWER has to make that happen...
