Instead, they paid for others to do what they cannot do. But the Africans neither manufactured them, nor launched them, themselves. Now, certain African countries, such as Nigeria, do own satellites in Earth orbit. Western men have chilled their beer by sending it into the stratosphere, then recovering it and drinking it after it came back down on a parachute. There are children in America and in the UK who have done what Chris Nsamba did. To many Africans, the concept of outer space applies to anything above the tree-tops, starting at about 100 meters altitude. At least, not by our definition of “space,” which begins at about 100 kilometers altitude, above the atmosphere. The truth? Cadimella went up on a helium filled weather balloon, which predictably burst at about 30 km altitude, after which it fell back down to the ground. Supposedly, it also carried “anti-time missiles” (whatever they are) to defend itself if another country tried to shoot it down. In fact, Cadimella is a rice-cooker with strips of flexible solar panel (enough to provide 5 to 10 watts of power, assuming that it is real solar panel) glued to the top. He claims that he will fly it to the Moon just as soon as the jet engine that he ordered from Amazon arrives in the mail.Ĭhris Nsamba also tried to convince the world that he has launched a space probe named Cadimella into low Earth orbit, where it sampled “space dust” and searched for near-Earth asteroids. Nsamba is a Ugandan hoaxer who built a small wooden glider in the back yard of his mother’s house, with the help of other men in his neighborhood. They’re still in the Gemini/Spacelab era.Īs for Africa, I suggest that you research the exploits of Chris Nsamba, in order to acquire a sense of where they really are in terms of spaceflight prowess.
The Chinese have copied our success they have not, as yet, caught up. Whites could do the same thing for a dog or a monkey.Īnd, of course, except for a few Chinese astronauts. No non-White person has ever been to space, unless Whites put him there. But the phenomenon of spaceflight was brought into existence by Whites. I am aware that there have been non-White astronauts. The “We Are One” attitude that marijuana smokers get might be more of an honest, if less sober, attitude than what some astronauts claim to experience. A German and a Russian and an American, if all of them are White, can ride a rocket together and forget, for a while, their cultural differences.īut when the Overview Effect is carried across racial lines, it is probably nothing more than unrealistic wishful thinking or virtue signaling. To some extent, the Overview Effect might be a recognition of racial commonality that manifests as distance puts cultural differences into the background. Why can’t we all just live in peace?” That’s the Overview Effect.
How small the differences between different peoples and races must be too. AN ASTRONAUT looks down at the Earth and thinks: “How small our blue planet is when seen from here.
