Ethiopia Starts Looking At the Stars!

Sometimes I need to take a break from criticizing governments and look for something positive, today I would like to share information about Ethiopia becoming more invested in space exploration.
Personally I believe this is a fantastic move for any developing nation with the means to do so. While Ethiopia is unlikely to get a manned spacecraft out of orbit within the next decade, they can still do a lot of meaningful work regarding observation. After all the amount of shit out there is like the amount of food that gets wasted in America every year, nearly endless.

With their students gaining interest in great scientific pursuits, and their country investing in the infrastructure to become a part of humanity's next phase of development, Ethiopia is setting a great example for other African nations. Ethiopia even has the opportunity to become a part of the unified earth government when we need to consider ourselves versus the entire universe.
