Ghana approves a government space policy
In a process that began in 2018, Ghana has finally approved a new government space policy that shifts bureaucratic control from a government agency not specifically focused on space to a new Ghana Space Agency.
Though Ghana officials repeatedly claim this is to encourage a commercial industry, all this policy decision has done is to create a new government agency to run things. It also appears that to make this change took years of negotiation among all the various government agencies involved, so that everyone could protect their own interests.
Don’t expect much from Ghana in the near future. All this policy does is concentrate power within its government.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies.

I’ll be glad to see our politial prisoners freed, after 4 years of imprisonment for protesting the first bit of tyranny.
This whole nightmare began with that stage-managed lie they’ve attempted to put over on us ever since, of a “violent insurrection”, where only two bits of violence happened – one of them being the DC police shooting an unarmed protester in the capitol lobby. The odiousness of the lie that inaugurated the regime really cannot be overstated. We had the video. We saw what happened. They tried to scrub the video from the internet and then lie about what happened. It was supposed to be their Reichstag fire. Their excuse to normalize deadly force against Americans and remake the government. The left had their script, and tried to put it over, even after the protestors reacted with more restraint than even seems sane to me to the violence directed into the crowds.
