Скачать или смотреть The Real, Actual Zambian Space Program

In the 1960s, as the US and USSR competed to be the first to land a man on the moon, the newly independent African nation of Zambia launched their own space program. Roundly mocked by the international press, historians and Zambians alike still debate what the Zambian space program really was: an honest attempt at reaching space on a shoestring budget? A parody of the West's overinflated ambitions? Or was it a cover for something more sinister?
