More Neat Stuff
Looks like Costa Rica is about to become home to even more neat stuff, in the form of rocket production:
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica Former NASA astronaut and researcher Franklin Chang-Diaz wants to bring the space industry to his native Costa Rica.
He tells the Costa Rican newspaper El Financiero that he'll start looking for 50 Central American investors to finance rocket production in the region.
He says he hopes to set the project rolling in July and start producing his Magneto-Plasma Rocket by 2011 for sale to space agencies.
