FFS, Yet another stupid story perpetuated by stupid people, do they not understand how ridiculous this is, the fanatics have escaped the asylum.

Indeed, just to keep the 1982 banner flying.

Would not surprise me that even Argentina has invested in this company, as they are now also part of the space age? On top of it, this gear only looks up... And, what happened with the Gov of the TdF, he put his signature under this project...
