Mars and space exploration is just a big waste of money.

That kind of money would be best spent on education, healthcare and maybe nuclear power plants and digging bore holes(national water reserves).

Africa is due for a mega drought. Countries like Uganda that depend on hydro power would have their economies destroyed

Satellite technology can be used to identify underground water tables in the whole country...This would be a permanent solution for perennial drought. Plus longtime data collected on satellite observations can be used to predict the next drought season,floods and thus plan for what we are going to do to protect wildlife, domestic animals and people... Satellite can also be used for study on how the changes affect the biodiversity overtime.. We would be in a better position to predict when crops need to be planted or not...etc

I totally agree with you, maybe we have a different opinion on what Space Exploration means

I am sure corporations and countries use data from satellites to gain advantage in trade deals or plan future investments but I've never heard of an African country buying commercial satellite time to get data on the us or Europe.

If the AU had balls they would declare the airspace above African up to infinity sovereign and tax companies and countries that overfly it

U.S.SpecialOperationsForces conduct weapons familiarization training with members of the Kenyan Army during a Joint Combined Exchange Training.

That will be illegal. Have you heard about the United Nations Outer Space Treaty?

Nobody has rights beyond 100km of altitude, the same way nobody can place WMDs in space or conduct weapons testing in space.

UN treaties are only for countries that are gullible and naive. Programs like Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) put nuclear weapons in space.

What the world's most expensive hunting rifle teaches us about gun making.
The VO Falcon isn't new. It came out in Sweden in 2011 ( I told you before about those Germanic gun makers didn't !). I hope you're seated- it retails for 820,000$ !? It's the PINNACLE of gun making showcasing the hand and tooling skill needed to make a truly fine gun- what the Brits call a bespoke gun. A collectors item available for kings,drug kingpins, NFL heroes and similar types unbothered by banalities of braces,rent, mortgage, and/or tuition fees.
That's over 10x what you'd pay for bespoke guns from Brit gun makers like Purdey, Rigby or Holland & Holland. Btw, there are smaller outfits in Austria and Germany known only to collectors whose guns average a 100k$ a pop but I digress.
Firstly behold the full stock in beautiful first grade walnut. Look at that grain! That long stock is def NOT common nowadays like the old .303 Enfields common in E and Southern Africa dating from the 1890s. Combined with the octagonal barrels vibration is reduced improving accuracy.
Look at the detail of the decorative engraving and the fancy scrollwork. Here is the entire process from choosing the wood and finishing the stock, making the action, the barrel.

What would you buy with $820,000? (Just shy of £500,000 to you and me.)

Seven top-spec Range Rover Sports? A four-bedroom Georgian house in Edinburgh? Or, perhaps, a VO Sporting Falcon Rifle?

Let's all set REALISTIC targets! Let's all work really REALLY REALLY hard to buy one by the time we hit 30.
Like I said realistic targets in life are crucial!

Any news about the helicopter that NASENI were making?
Plus the one the Nigerian army were making in 2017.
Also the 2 (4&5) new Seaward defence boats the NN are currently making

atsina Govt Donates 9 APCs To Aid Fight Against Banditry

by Godwin Enna 12 hours ago

The Katsina State government has donated nine Amoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) to be deployed in the frontline Local Government Areas (LGAs) mostly affected by banditry in the State.

Governor Aminu Bello Masari, who inspected the vehicles alongside some top government officials and security chiefs on Tuesday in Katsina, said with the addition of nine APCs, the State now has over 30 APC vehicles to fight the bandits.

Affirming that government will win the fight, even though it was a tough and challenging time, he said the government and security operatives are equal to the task of dealing with the situation.

“We are now working with the Commissioner of Police and also a local producer in Kaduna to produce more APCs. We have gotten the quotations and the IG has given us an additional two, we have paid for their repairs in Kaduna.

“With these nine, we have over 30 APC vehicles in Katsina State. Though I don’t know what the military have but from the Police and our efforts, I’m sure we have over 30 APC vehicles in Katsina, and more are still needed to confront this issue of bandits who are becoming more sophisticated and daring.

“Also working to provide relief to those who are seriously affected by the activities of bandits across the State. We have national and state programmes to provide succour to the victims.

“I’m happy to say that of recent, the response time of security operatives has improved. Whenever there is SoS, the response is always better than before, and I think we will continue with the cooperation of the people,” Masari said.

He then lamented the activities of informants, which he described as the biggest problem, urging members of the public to always report suspicious movements around them to security operatives for quick response.

What nonsense are those? The Katsina State govt couldn't buy vehicles from ProForce or the Nigeria Army itself ( Ezeugo MRAPs)?

UN treaties are only for countries that are gullible and naive. Programs like Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) put nuclear weapons in space.

In that case, 193 countries of the world are gullible and naive including the US, China and Russia.

No nuclear weapons are domiciled in space.

A week ago I flew on a friend's gyro-copter for the first time. Hair-raising as the wind was quite a factor - at some point the difference between our airspeed and groundspeed was 36mph!
Even managed to take a pic over Koeberg Nuclear Power Station before we were warned off!

Can see why the Botswana Defence Force uses these for anti-poaching.

EDIT: Photos removed.
cough...Koeberg + permitted altitudes...cough

Full blooded African man. I don't have a will! Take me on the next flight!

But man this is the life!

Funny how I don't have fear of heights but I can't stand water
