The United Nations has launched its own space program, which will send scientific experiments into low-Earth orbit. The program is geared to developing countries, but don't worry: it will be wealthy countries like America who pay for it.
The U.N. is planning to launch its first space mission into orbit, packed with scientific experiments from countries that can't afford their own space programs.
The plan is to launch the Dream Chaser in 2021 for a 14-day flight in low Earth orbit. Sirangelo says the spacecraft is "about the size of a regional jet," and the company envisions outfitting it with 20 to 25 laboratory stations for countries to do experiments in microgravity. And while it's aimed at developing countries, any U.N. member state can apply to participate.
Before liftoff, the U.N's Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) is also planning to provide technical support to countries that haven't had experience conducting microgravity experiments.
Did you know the U.N. had an office for Outer Space Affairs since 1958? There are so many wonderful things the United Nations have funded that we have never even heard about!

If this isn’t a joke, then it’s just a way to get tons of graft to other corrupt individuals...no doubt with kickbacks to offshore accounts belonging to our usual suspects.
I’ll stand here stupified... you launch the IED.
This is a level of srupid I hadn’t considered.
Amazing.
Do they give reasons why this should be done in Somalia?
BTW, isn’t the Dream Chaser a small, shuttle-like space vehicle?
Let them fund their own space program.
will 200k somalian dirtbags return to somalia for a job.
In short order watch for the UN to levy taxes on any and every transaction done over the Internet, including a fee for email and junk (unsolicited)mail.
All to fund this type of nonsense while at the same time turning the USA into an impoverished third world cesspool.
Thanks RNC/GOPe/Republican controlled Congress!

Next question.
“Zero, zilch, nada!”
I would like to separate them out into two teams, put them into a large cage and armed with nothing but wine openers & caviar spoons, have them fight (each other) to the death.
Yup. Sierra Nevada Corp builds it. Main office in Reno. Assembly in, I believe, Littleton CO. Crew only. Still in the works for some possible missions. Hmmmm. Let’s see. Land on a runway or splash down in the ocean someplace. I’d choose landing strip if I were going.
$43.50 for three kites and a large ball of twine
Not one penny.
In fact, we shouldn’t be supporting (or housing) the UN at all. Likewise we should be so utterly thorough as to also remove every UNESCO sign from the States or any of our Territories.
Hopefully some serious thunderstorms in the vicinity.
If I remember correctly, the land where ‘it’ sits was donated by the rockyfellers. If I’m wrong, I’m sure to be corrected. ;-)
