...well, it might not be that direct of an impact on the overall mission that is touted as the greatest yet in space exploration but it is worth noting.

Anyway, the Luigi Broglio Space Center (BSC) is an Italian-owned spaceport near Malindi, Kenya, named after its founder and Italian space pioneer Luigi Broglio. Developed in the 1960s through a partnership between the Sapienza University of Rome's Aerospace Research Centre and NASA. It is a very important site as it is situated near the Equator. Also, the ESA (European Space Agency) in partnership with the Italians pay fees to our kafment to operate within the country.

BTW, a satellite named Uhuru was launched from there in the 1960s. @Meria ulete hiyo risto kwa the next TBT.
