That's a great movie. I recommend everyone to watch it.
At least they are trying.
I can't complain. Even though it's a bad area to construct something like that, it DOES look professional and looks well-put-together. Good luck to them.
Good for them, but it's pathetic that America has yet to decide on a new method to get people back into space without the help of the Ruskies.
Jebediah!

I watched that in 6th grade, it wasn't bad.
Then again, it got mediocre reviews. (probably because of the premise.)

And when asked how he plans to simulate zero gravity for training, he said it would be 'easy'.He added: '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.[/quote]That's amazing.[/QUOTE]
Unless they end up cranking it up too far and the guy flies out of the tunnel like a cannonball. A cannonball made of various bits of flesh flung through the air at high speeds.
Still, at least then they learn something. Specifically that humans are not very good substitutes for cannonballs.
They've got more funding than Nasa does
FP's space program is shit compared to this, stop making fun of it.
FPSI should recruit him.
I kinda feel bad for them, cause I know they are going to try to do it, and one of them is gonna die.
Space is very lonely, I wonder how they're going to prevent gay sex from happening

We have a space program?

It would be quite hard to eat da poo poo in space, wouldn't it?

No easier I reckon

Dunno. Ask these guys. Judging from their space outfits, they probably had about the same budget.

Of course, these are Zambians, much less sophisticated than Ugandans.
Hahaha
One of them is gonna die

The reality is they actually made it to the moon. All the world governments covered it up.
[QUOTE=SataniX;33564524]I somewhat doubt that will fly.[/QUOTE]
If you've got enough thrust, you can get anything airborne. The question is whether or not you'll have it flying:
-In one piece
-In a direction you want
-For more than a few seconds

What are you talking about? Last I checked our Buick-with-model-rocket-engines-off-a-big-ramp (Bw/MREOAP) delivery vehicle was working wonders. Shame about the dog, though.
