ENTEBBE, Uganda (AFP) - Africans must travel to the moon to investigate what developed nations have been doing in outer space, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said 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?'."

Is this satire? - or a report from the floor of the Senate?
I wanted to add “Idiot alert” tag to the headline but the heading was too long already.
*lol* yes Africa travels too the moon. i would love to see this. maybe someone should tell this lunatic who said this that they “might” face some “small” problems. Now they only have to call the US, EU... for more forreingn aid and technitian... who are able to build and maintain all of their equipment. (oh and don´t forget to include some “Care” packets into the space ship for their astronaut, to guarantee they have enought food to survive the trip).
A presription to create new problems and aggrevate old ones.
OH! NO!!
If they go to the moon, they will find our clandestine bases, you know, the ones where we create the genetically selective killer viruses to attack people of color throughout the world.
(Then again, if they show up and say “What are you people doing up here?” we can always just shrug and say “Um, aah, we aint doin’ nuttin’!” - in our best Frank Fontaine/Crazy Guggenham voice.)
I wonder if he isn’t just yanking our chain- or encouraging East Africa, regionally, to work together on something a bit less ambitious than that.
Beat me to it!
Way too obvious.
OK, pal, build yourself a rocket ship and go there yourself. Who’s stopping you?
Hidin' all the food, bro, hidin' all the food.
how does a the African space program look like? maybe a man in a frog suit tied to an RPG aimed at the moon?
We're here for the free cheese.
Prime Minister Museveni just wants to get laid.
