Exciting news and even if some of them seem over ambitious, its good to have such an agenda. It will motivate and inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists. Good day for science in Turkey. We might see some cooperation with ESA too in the future.

1. Ukraine is a customer and paying for what they are buying. 2. Expect the fruits of the cooperation with the Ukraine in a couple years. It will take time.

Building that thing in a country as volatile as Somalia is not a good idea in my eyes. I understand the geography behind such a move but it's still Somalia that is still facing tons of terrorism and instability.

Stop the presses and all media, because KFF has figuered it all out.
