*"I used to build large gliders...then I jump off with them from a cliff"*
Well, my man was an Astronaut since birth.
Oh ma gah😂😂😂😂
I believe you meant to say "Afronaut". Please use the correct titles when referring to these pioneering professionals...
Gonna need a big elastic band..
Sam Hawkins No, they be relying on the local witch doctor to caste a magical spell so it can fly into space.
Or a lot of funding from USA.
If they can get an elastic band with a coefficient index of 36.56 and a catapult thrust of 45 mega tonnes they may actually pull it off.
👋🤣👍hahahaha lmfao!
hahaha, took me a split sec!
“Its ready to fly into space. All it needs now are the components that go inside the empty husk that make it work”.
Underrated
Feels like homer simpson 😂
@adoreoner8185
I just came to say that, lol
Marge: ‘Do you see all that stuff inside?’
Homer: ‘Yeah?’
Marge: ‘That’s why your robot didn’t work’
Flying skills level: Wakanda
I can clearly see the re entry damage on the wing. Hopefully it can be fixed.
@liar fighter he made the interview you stupid ass. Pay attention you moron.
Re entry???...from where front to back yard after his neighbors complain about that junk blocking the road 😅🤣😂
New layer of ostrich feathers, be good as new!!
@@obadiahphoenix429 exactly 😂
I am only 25yrs but if given the little funds spent by this guy I would use them to take my daughter or son to a good aeronotical college. It is the best use of the resources. Let's not lie to this old man.
So his plan to keep the mouse alive in the vacuum of space... is a fan, that ventilates oxygen from outside - from the vacuum of space... Well, at least he doesn't think the Earth is flat...
They are planning an airtight suit for the mouse??
@ david green. well said sir, my points exactly!
This has me dying as a Ugandan, I don't think he knows anything about how space works.
@@charlesbukenya2054 Ugandans are known to be thick upstairs. I school with some of your guys at a high schooled in Kenya and the level of of stupidity was shocking.
Dude has basically a sculpture of an aircraft made from sheet metal, fiberglass and bondo
lmao
The Bondo is the most crucial component in the craft - Could have been a State Secret that someone leaked !
I really like that BBQ grill with solar panels, I think he's on to something...
I thought that it was a rice cooker.
That’s obviously the African gonkulator!
@@johnveld7540 is that a hogan's heroes reference
Colton Robinson .... jawohl!
The problem is , most are good in designing art ,and repairing wats already built, true inventors first build prototypes and test before building a big thing, all ugandan planes are just designs and not operating
He said projects like this prove Africa can do much....
Unfortunately, he's doing more damage to the image of Africa by saying that!
Well this just show the world how dum africa realy is 🤣🤣
I think he is showing the epitome of African achievement. His (so-called) “spacecraft” really is the best technology that Africans can come up with. In 30 years I expect them to invent the wheel.
@Mr. Anonymous And judging by some of these videos the wheel they had was literally SQUARE!!
Sameer N not all civilisations did invent the wheel. The incas did not, But They had 100 000s slaves that could cary things for them. And also They did not have proper roads in the mountians. But No not all african people did not invent the wheel. They are still tribes and loved like They had done since the stone age well Into the 1950s

Incredible engineering! Beautiful stainless steel and aerospace aluminum chassis, top of the line avionics, incredible build tolerances and perfect aerodynamic design. This hull is spaceflight ready! What kind of rocket motor will he be mounting? RS 25? Merlin 1D? The suspense is overwhelming! Wakanda forever!!!!!

So here are some questions a good reporter might have asked... 1) if you are going to space why do you need wings? 2) how do you expect to control the craft in atmosphere when clearly there are no flaps on either the wings or the tail? 3) If it is going to space wouldn't it need to be air tight?
C3 , Those would be questions that the African wouldn’t know the answers to. What? No air?
@@Dsoginventor shut the fuck. The man in the video is dumb but I think there are some intelligent Africans brilliant than you're sir.
You think an African propagandist network is gonna ask an African why hes thinking like an African?
500rpm fan for a cooling system in space.. Isn't it genius
fan in vacuum always is a good idea ))
@@hattifattener1 At least the mouse will have some space oxygen to breathe.
My boss used to say to me, "A little knowledge is a VERY dangerous thing". This guy could do with his advice!
He isn't with us anymore
@prestallar4339 no, he passed on as far as I know. He did do some good things before he left though...this wasn't one of them lol but he did some good.
@@A_Stereotypical_Hereticwhere he got?
@@daMoonSon he passed away
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic what happened?
The problem with us Africans is starting from the end instead of the begining. We cant manufacture a bicycle but he's on a space craft. I think we need to take things in steps.
Thick um-bongos can't even grow crops & segregate their animals from pissing in the only water supply in the village, causing illness. But they are launching into space?
LMFAO
@@officemanager3377 shut up
@@officemanager3377 Well said ; they can't even turn sheep whool into yarn to make clothing; farming is strange to them. They die of hunger ; but they try going into space.
Sounds like the perfect country for me 😂
Using glue and synthetic whool to patch your vaccum proof plane.My god this guy is a genius. LOL
"We just need to develop a rocket" hahahahahahahaha, they can't even make a helicopter but a rocket is somewhat feasible? Hahahahahaha, I just can't.
and a launch control, gyros, fuel, recovery..........😮
😒🙄
They can't manufacture a pen
The problem is how to bring the spacecraft out from your backyard?
@4:37 At least he acknowledges that.
DOH!
Well that is not even a spacecraft i tell u thats a shit show that ting will never fly trus me the man must just phone NASA and ask how much $$$ it will take to but him in to space
It levitates, Silly!!
dynamite?
Perfect case for the saying "do not try this at home. "
We are coming to space too .
@@haruna.sentongo wow realy when tell us
It will work, we built da pyramids one brick at a time
@@davidobukubodun8485 😆. Yeah, I'm sure he'll be up there "scanning for asteroids and doing research" with his mouse pod in no time. These guys are like children. About 9 years old I'd say.
it can always be used as a boat when finished exploaring space.
WTF did i just watch? A couple of blokes in um-bongo making a spacecraft out of an old aircraft fuselage , and a mouse powered small craft made from a gutted out barbecue with solor panels?? Good old youtube for a laugh.
Dont forget the open ventilator on a spacecraft...
Bitter Neanderthal dog
you are right
@@scoobystavoren2868the CPU fan? 😂
“We need to develop a rocket.” Hahaha.
He needs to recuit Vernor von brown the nazi v1/v2 rocket inventor?. The US used his skills 60 years ago.
The good part is they actually believe it will work haha.
It will definitely work, we built the pyramids as well!
@@davidobukubodun8485 It's not even the same people lmao.
@@davidobukubodun8485 stacking rocks on top of each other = building an extremely difficult and complicated piece of modern machinery that can go into space 😂
@@davidobukubodun8485Stop embarrassing us with your idiotic comments
The built it on the backyard of someones property, big enough to make it impossible to be carried outside, weak enough to not be lifted into air. Great job.
Se puede sacar por encima de la casa.
Its an empty shell. Here is an idea. Tie a go pro to a helium balloon. You will achieve more in an hour then in the three years wasted on that hunk of junk.
He’s enjoying himself and he’s not bothering anybody else, no need to be a 🍆,
The real wakanda
The wing damage of the spacecraft is caused by the jackfruit drop into it or what?
@@nattv9498 you're being sarcastic 🤣
Much better than the Zambian attempt. You can tell these guy's are actually putting thought and passion into this. Thank you for trying your best and inspiring. But id have gone for a balloon or something. Chemicals can take you farther than vehicles
🫡
That mentality landed me in rehab
In their minds, they are now just waiting for the job offers from NASA
2:33 let's open some random file and act like we are attempting some computerized test
Probably porn files😂😂😂

"go prepare my radio..."
Gets a cellphone 😂
Hopefully the rat won't chew through the exposed life sustaining wires in the chamber.
Gooby pls
Unfortunately Captain Nsamba died and his dream is no more😢😢. May his soul rest in peace
@prestallar4339 he died in 2022. They said he just fell sick
The Onion News is so funny..oh wait..these guys are serious? "If you believe in yourself.."
He's in absolutely no danger.
Ah, I forgot to watch this during black history month...
everyone is talking about how the satelite is a barbaque but an air cooling system in space
Scotty we need more power.(Scotty) I'm doing the best I can Captian nusemba
I want to smoke what he smoked.. Seems like pretty strong spliff😆
tumbleweeds
Glass fibre.....re-entry?!?!?
i was thinking that i think they should use metal
and also if it got damaged by weath what will happen during reentry
if it even made it to space haha
Ventilating fan in the vacuum of space.
I thought I was crazy.
Well! I think we are for watching this! Or drunk!🍻🥴👍
I'm inspired to move forward. you gat a vision. God bless you
This is awesome! Young man keep experimenting and pushing. You’re built for this. Wishing you the best of luck and looking forward to the outcome Godspeed!❤💪
The only vacuum that thing will ever experience is a Hoover
Are the solar panels drawn on?
Yall cold asf😂😂😂😂
Hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔
I like these guys. What they are doing takes grit.
You misspelled 'hate' and 'shit'
Hello, I want to see the small mice or small rat go flying with the 2500 rpm cooling fan and identification lights. Please ask the bloated dog to move before you fire up your rockets.
i couldnt help but notice the Jackfruit tree in his yard
@@tB3o3tR9o9 yes indeed
At least they can take it to a carnival and give kids airplane rides
Looks like you've left no stone unturned in your reach for the stars, when's liftoff?
Actually they probably left no stone on the ground after putting them in the wings...
I admire their effort...
Thank you that one person is educated and understand the problems and up hill battle these people face.
Obviously not lucky enough to have the education/resources we take for granted in the 'Western world', I absolutely love this guys ambition and willingness to succeed
🤣
😂
So education exists only in the western world?
@@lordemarsh6804 pretty much.
@@asbestosfibers1325 so china? Russia? India?Singapore? korea? all the others Does not have education?
I didn't know window explorer can be used for controlling satellite. By the way they got nice jack fruits there.
Satellite is made of rusty bowl 😂
A cooling system with a fan in space.......lol
Wakanda for never
A magnificent discovery is the cliff he found
what happened to the africa space research program? any success?
They all need hospital for brain checking
His intentions are good but cmon man you should atleast put something in there! Its literally just a hull
If minimal thought and common sense had been put, even the hull wouldn't have existed.
Wakanda It truly is real!
When you're pursuing your zeal rather than your goal...
Good luck to this program 👍
im a 5 star general of the ooogoooboogoo space programe nice to meet you
this guy is my role model
Never knew hospital bed pan could be used as a space observer
Don't worry guys...if they land on the sun they don't get burned cause the launch it will be scheduled by night.
3:40 dude this isn’t a light bulb. It is a lump of sheet metal that will kill you if you attempt to fly it...especially into space! You’re using metal rulers and Bondo to measure and build the thing.
lmfao
I finde this fascinating for some reason.
I like the guys
If this all works out as planned, everyone I mean everyone will be like 😳
*if*
Outstanding.
When you’re stuck in the ancient era with one high pop city and no science production while your opponents are in the modern era
Was the project successfull?
And why did this take that long to appear to my feed?
WITH THE HELP OF ALL AFRICAN SPIRITS, THIS FANTASTIC AIRPLANE WILL FLY IN 2019
Was that Gin, wiskey or home brew bananna rot gut spirits?
2022 im still waiting??
@@MrSofakinggreata little behind schedule
Wakanda forever
So it's to scan for asteroids etc from a low earth orbit? How low EXACTLY? 6 Feet under?
At least they have what to do and consider they are making a leap forward.
I'm starting to think that this is a ongoing national joke, a bit like our 'Drop Bears' joke in Australia.
Very space age communication system being shown there with their mobile phones. lol
It will work, we built the pyramids one brick at a time
I’m going out on a limb here, but I have my doubts about whether this is really feasible,not trying to discourage anyone, but it would seem prudent for his family members to quietly pull him to the side and let him know that it’s missing some vital components and there’s a good chance that he’ll kill himself if he ever attempt to fly it….and I must emphasize it should be done quietly…
Man I feel bad for these guys
This appears on my feed and I thought… wow
All hes missing now is a coin slot
We did our job of trying to make it happen
This guy's a strong believer. He will definitely go to heaven on one or the other way :)
This has to be new a genre of comedy. Stand up comedy is old now. Can we have something called "Comedicumentary" !!!!
What I don't understand is - the technology to go to space successfully has been around since the fifties. Why start again from the beginning, when we got past his stage seventy years ago?
Guy says: "such efforts mean Africa can do much...bla bla bla". Amusing simplicity.
Ahh this must be flight lieutenant sabandas cousin. Remember flight lieutenant sabanda ? He was the one that made a helicopter out of the rear end of a small hatchback and used four cricket bats for tail rotor blades AND he 'flew' it over 65 km . Jolly good show I think 😆😆😄😄😆
@0:59 I'm sorry but I cannot help but notice how near perfect this man's gums and teeth are. Carry on...
Pretty blue for sure
Over 41,000 views. Possibly more than all of us commenting put together, including the ones making fun.
who's gonna tell him that fans don't work in space?
Their faith is stronger that the materials they used to build that plane.
When it looks right, it flies right.
I don't know, man, a lot of people are making fun of this guy, but it seems like he has the right attitude and willingness to learn that would actually help African countries improve. If everyone were like him, maybe Africans would band together to improve their societies and technology. This guy isn't the problem. :/
This is the super-secret wakandan technology that they kept from us for years lmao
"ugandan special needs program" - is what the funding was titled as
somewhere on this planet there is a rich man that would send him a kit plane and lessons, thats the only he will ever clear the ground
Go on guys
I would so help this guy out. Love the positivity.
