    Exactly, GMR, what a misplaced priority by this university.....find solutions to the problems of hunger first, and once Ghanaians have full stomachs, they can think better..that is common sense....

    Space technology has many applications - in the medical, agricultural and technological fields, etc. Do you think other countries around the world are conducting space exploration for fun? In any case it is the University's m ...

    Do you people think at all ?
    What is misplaced here ?Do they have to wait until the nation gets a full fledged electricity before launching the satelite? Did Ghana have politiciuans before she was agitating for freedom?

  • Mr.Bestman 12 years ago

    Why are Ghanaians refusing to believe the President Of All Nations University College in Koforidua about the Institution CANSAT program ? Remember that Ghana is always the "FIRST & BEST". Keep Dreaming.

  • kabokabo 12 years ago

    Finally we are going to have satelite that can track down Arm Robbers in Kumasi. What else can this satelite do apart from tracking down arm robbers and Obuasi galamsey?

  • Not Einstein 12 years ago

    This school is also into gargantuan promises. What they will end up doing is to send a rocket into orbit. Could be an orbit of a few hundred feet into the air. They DO NOT HAVE the capacity to build a satellite.


    What is ...

    Those of you excited about this piece of news need to ask some questions.
    What purpose will the satellite serve? And more

  • Nana Yaw III 12 years ago

    They may have the capacity to build the satellite but not the capacity to build the launching ssytem - the rocket! Maybe that explains why he says they can send the satellite into orbit using a balloon. What he has forgette ...

    Please make sure you lunch this in the middle of the sea because it might come back and fall on innocent people and destroy properties. Also let us know the date so that I may fly my family out of the country. Nonsense.

    The satelite is the size of a coca cola can. He is probably going to launch it with a rubber band.

  • KWASI IN EUROPE 12 years ago

    Even America and Europe need millions of dollars to launch one satellite; Where is this Koforidua school going to get these millions? Don't open your mouths too wide. Don't disgrace yourselves like that former judge.
