Ghana launches its first satellite
The new colonial movement: Yesterday Ghana’s first satellite, a cubesat built by students, was released from the International Space Station.
Also today the Ghana government announced the successful conversion of a communications antenna into a radio telescope that is now part of the worldwide Very Long Baseline Array radio telescope (VLBI).

Good to see that at least one of the world’s Grasshutistans has some people in it looking to join the modern world. May their tribe increase.
