Take a Read here, In uganda, they are building a new space shuttle

And his idea for zero gravity training is...

'I've got a jet engine on order so I'm planning to build a tunnel, put the engine at one end and when I throw a guy in he'll float in a similar way to how he would in space.'

- Chris NSamba

Notice he says "when I throw a guy in" I take it he has no volunteers

Notice the nice Air Tight Seal

Lovely job with the filler on those wings! Reminds of when I had an Austin A40 back in the 1970's...

Give these guys 10 out of 10 for enthusiasm, but a bit worried about who they're going to try to sell it to...

or some 3" steel pipe and some propane

I think they forgot the ailerons to
and what are they going to propel it with?. A rubber band ?

i'd give them 9/10 for looks but i would hate to be the test pilot

no sure what they will do when they come back on re entry to fight the 65,000 degrees heat, probably some tin foil underneath the wings

I've just received an email from the very same chap. Apparently his mum has thrown him out of the back garden when she found out he had sold all the grass to fund the project. His contact at Gatwick is having trouble "sourcing" an engine.

I really believe this "engineer" (rings a bell) knows his ceramic tiles from his bathroom tiles. So I did as suggested and sent him all my worldly goods to continue his gaol (look it up)

I might not be on here much as the Public Library doesn't open much and I'm restricted to 30mins on their PC, so please forward this to all and sundry.

With any luck we will send enough money to get the whole nation in to space
