Mexico’s Newest Solution - Mexicans In Space

Mexico has entered stage two of its people problem. We are all very well aware of stage one: Send everyone to the United States. Stage two (believe it or not) is to send the rest into space.

Mexican lawmakers are preparing to launch a national space agency they hope could one day stand tall beside the United States’ NASA.

Mexico’s lower house passed a law on Wednesday, which if approved by the upper chamber, would create a space agency to coordinate research and work with universities and the private sector to launch communication and weather satellites.

The proposed budget to kick off the Mexican Space Agency is less than $2 million. Nonetheless, there’s hope that they will someday challenge NASA.

“We’d love it to become the Mexican NASA, but obviously the levels of investment are incomparable. It’s very distant, perhaps not in the vision but in resources,” a spokesman for the Mexican Congress’s Science and Technology Commission, which drew up the law, said on Thursday.

Interested Participant wonders how this will be done since all the good hard working and dedicated Mexicans are now in the United States. Good question.
