A good start.

That's exactly how innovations start...

^ True. Just like the Russian N American during the start of the cold war. Russia's Sputnik and America's moon landing. The americans are persuasive bastards. They've indoctrinated the masses into believing the moon landing literally happened.

yes you can laugh at them but given more resources who knows what they could do.

Wallahi I worry for the future of the African continent.

africa is the future. cant get much worse than it already is. only way is UP.

Cant get much worse but doesnt mean it will get any better. It all comes down to the African way. Technological innovation and research and development won't occur if we don't get rid of the way we look at things and do things (the African way). I particularly worry about us Somalis. We are the worst off Africans. But I am almost always optimistic. Let us hope the future is brighter.

What the hell are you talking about? Somalis are very innovative and given funding we would most likely have a successful space progam. Somalis are mavericks compared to a lot of other people and the fact that we survived more than 2 decades without even the simple basic institutions of government should tell you a lot (even though we are the ones who destroyed our government).

The main problem with somalis is that a large proportion suffer from cuqdad - exhibit A being the OP - and we are not a people who seem to care about the long-term future.
