Ugandan boy wants to build space shuttle from scratch







In Kampala, Uganda, freelance aeronautics engineer and founder of the African 

Space Research Program — is building an airplane in his backyard. Chris 

Nsamba has won three science competitions and is already dreaming bigger.

According to CNN this young man has successfully established the African 

Space Research Program. Together with certain Engineers from the Uganda Civil 

Aviation and support from over 500 science students, he hopes to build an 

aircraft in his backyard. 

He also has plans to eventually build a space craft in a few yeaars. If he 

succeeds with the aircraft, he is sure to draw international attention and 

get grants to fund his research.

In an interview with the BBC, Nsamba was optimistic that he'd be able to 

complete the shuttle in four to six years.

His first flight on his pattented aircraft could either be his jet to stardom 

or lead to his early demise.

I honestly dont think this air craft will fly and I believe this is just 

another evidence mocking our backwardness.
