Africa2Moon: Africa's mission to the MOON revealed: $150,000 project aims to land a probe - but will it ever get off the ground?

Africa2Moon has raised £8,600 ($13,000) of its £99,000 ($150,000) targetAim is to see African-engineered rocket take African-built probe to moonThe appeal for £99,000 ($150,000) is to cover the first phase, which aims to finalise a feasibility report that will be presented by the end of NovemberTeam want to inspire interest in study of science among young AfricansSome critics have suggested that money spent on space exploration could be put to better use on other projects in Africa, such as conquering EbolaAn ambitious project to put an African spacecraft on the Moon is sputtering on the launchpad as it struggles to secure funding.The Africa2Moon Mission has drawn just £8,600 ($13,000) of the initial target of £99,000 ($150,000) with a countdown of only three weeks left before the appeal closes.In contrast, a private British moon project, Lunar Mission One, rode the internet crowdfunding phenomenon to reach its target of nearly a $1million (£661,000) ahead of deadline last month.The apparent lack of interest may come as little surprise to those for whom Africa conjures up images of political unrest, disease and poverty as opposed to science and space exploration.But countering that view of the continent is one of the underlying aims of the project by the Foundation for Space Development, which says it will go ahead even if the initial target is not reachedRead More plus See Photos @http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2902955/African-moon-bid-seeks-boost-spacecraft-blast-off.html

    Cmdr Vrillion ..DO NOT LOOK FOR OTHER PLANETS TO LIVE ON IF YOU CANNOT LOOK AFTER THE PLANET YOU CALL HOME
    So Africa needs to improve Africa first ...feed and clothe and house the people of Africa before spending money on Moon trips
