    Shamu has got a point. What is the full name of this rocket scientist? Some of us don't know this "world renowned" rocket scientist. Shoddy journalism.

    How come Ghana is not making noise about these brilliant citizens? Hmm ! Empty barrels make the most sound indeed.Ghana has rocket scientists not one but at least three but we don't hear much about them.What a shame!

  • Kponyo 10 years ago

    The reason why we dont hear much about these Ghanaian rocket scientists is that we are too busy frantically running around to look for common water and other basic amenities in order to live the barest minimum standard of lif ...

    Though not contesting the fact, I sincerely doubt that Dr Kludze flew any spacecraft in orbit as this writer stated in his opening paragraph.

    He is an Engineer who works as NASA digital analyst, that is, electronic circui ...

    You see to have misunderstood me.
