Africa2Moon Mission

A non-profit organization from Cape Town called Foundation for Space Development South Africa is looking to get South Africa into space. They don't have the funds now, but they plan on getting the funds from an online website. South Africa hopes to go where they have never gone before. With the money that they will receive they propose to send a probe up to the moon. The goal that they have set for themselves is $150,000 which they hope to achieve by the end of January. So far, they have raised $21,600. Any extra money it is said to be used for an actual space program once they get there. Even with all these great achievements planned, there are some set backs. Adding a space program is just a cover up for the other problems in Africa, and that is where people see the problem.
