Brazil Successfully Launches Its First Rocket To Space
thatshortkid writes "The Washington Times is reporting on Brazil's first successful space launch. Since it is closer to the equator, the task of getting up to space is easier, meaning much more cargo room over fuel. Hello commercial launch market! With this development, along with China's expanding space program, India making moves to space, and our own homegrown (ok, still growing) private space industry, where does this put NASA? Does it take a load off of them to pursue bigger endeavors, or will NASA slowly decline in relevance?"

That explains why Iceland doesn't have a space program. Plus it's really hard to get off the ground with geothermal power.
Liberals call everyone Nazis yet they are the closest thing to it.
The solution is obvious: offshore NASA to cut costs!
Table-ized A.I.
... that 73% of Brazilians approve this endeavour and want the space program to continue. The other 27% want the Brazilian space agency to stop faking it! :)
In the end, all will inevitably belong to WAYLAND-YUTANI!
Bye!

I don't know how far the brazilian gov. is really worried with technology. They simply don't give a shit to the federal universitis or even the education here wich the public one is the worse.
