Africans must go to the moon

Entebbe, Uganda - Africans must travel to the moon to investigate what developed nations have been doing in outer space, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said on Saturday.

"The Americans have gone to the moon. And the Russians. The Chinese and Indians will go there soon. Africans are the only ones who are stuck here," Museveni said, addressing a meeting of the Uganda Law Society in Entebbe.

"We must also go there and say: 'What are you people doing up here?'."

Museveni urged the assembly of Uganda's top lawyers to support East African integration, arguing that one of the region's goals should be to develop a space programme.

Everyone should get a chance to go there. There may come a day we need to go to another planet. We sure are screwing up this one.

Given that the laser reflectors the Apollo teams (11, 15, & 15) left behind are still there and functioning, and anyone with the right equipment can bounce a beam off it, it's pretty hard not to.

Is that a beer in your hand?

Are you sure you're not resting on your case?

Tonight's drink of choice happens to be gin.

So, I guess I should be saying "I plead the 5th".....

Maybe he plans on growing food up there? I hear regolith is great for that.
