    similarily there’s an already existing spaceport in northern sweden, they’ve yet to actually launch something into space but it’s not that far off! no one really seems to talk about it but like, holy shit little sweden can into space!

      Although I suspect we are importing U.S. technology and brains to do this.

        Short term imports for long term self-reliance sounds like the right way to go to me

          @Quilotoa@lemmy.ca

          Exactly. It’s like when the US took all the Nazi scientists. Except that it’s pre-ww3…so I guess it’s more like when the US took all the German Jewish scientists before everyone else decided maybe letting the Nazis take all of Europe and slaughter millions of people was maybe a bad thing?

    The satellites will be made by local firm BubblesTech from recycled shopping carts. A source near to the project commented “I am the liquor, Randy!”
