I read about this, and just fell in love with the man.
Notable things:
~The training was literally rolling the wanna-be astronauts down a hill in a barrel.
~The astronauts all dropped out because they got big egos or because all they did was get rolled down a hill in a barrel for no money.
~The only person to complete the training (which I think was getting rolled down the hill 50 times) was a woman whose name escapes me. Bu unfortunately, she got pregnant and after she had her kid, her family wouldn't allow her to go back to the Zambia space program.
~Edward said that he was willing to work together with the U.S. mission to the moon, but one thing must be very clear, Zambia's flag must be placed first!
~This made news around the world, and Edward was very vocal on pleading for funds, but all they got was 10 rupees (~.50) sent to them by a boy from India who read about them and got inspired.
