There’s discussion regarding creation of a Mexican Space Agency - orAEXA, for short. The Mexican Senate must first deliberate on thematter, before such an organization obtains legal status.

So, they beleive it is a good idea. Perhaps they should have been doing this for the last 40yrs, though
how can a country that can't take care of it's own people have a space program?

A lot of things would have to change in order for Mexico to get into space.

1) Education. Right now, parents have to pay to send their children to go beyond the most basic of education. That will have to change, and I guestimate that it would be a 20yr endeavour. (Shorter if Mexico can attract higher educated Mexicans in the U.S. to return.) As Mexico would have a major shortage of qualified teachers for the first 10yrs.

2) They would have to stop blaming the United States, Japan, England, France, and Germany for their own problems, and address the issues themselves. I doubt that these countries would care to help if they're being insulted and blamed for the various problems that Mexico brought upon itself.

3) Corruption would have to be scaled way back in order to get a space program off the ground. The cost would be in the Billions, (Milles Millions) and if crooks start stealing equipment, cronies getting contracts in return for little or nothing, then the people would start to turn against it.

I hope that they could, sino demasiado disfrutan Como es Mexico ya.

Did anybody tell them there are no Home Depots on the Moon and Mars?  What would they do when they got there?

Meh, I think your completely right. How can MEXICO do a space program? I don't even think they have an AIRFOCE.


EDIT: Hell, if they're gonna look for aliens just go to America and find some rednecks where some mexicans are and GUARENTEED they will say illegal's or aliens.

On the flip side -- what if we (the U.S.) built a few dozen Home Depot's on Mars?  

I don't think Mexico would need a space agency then.  The illegals here would simply be sucked (electromagnetically?) through time & space to be there on Mars at the opening of these Home Depots.  I'm pretty sure that it's scientific fact that Home Depots cannot exist without an accompanying cadre of illegals.  It may be a corrollary of Einstein's Special Relativity, or maybe it has to do with Quantum Mechanics, I'm not sure, but I know that it IS an undeniable physical law of the universe.

You need to refer this to a physicist.  I am not qualified to venture on how such an act might affect the space-time continuum.  However, I suspect that this could either resolve our immigration problem or bring about the destruction of our universe.

Once again, agreed, I think mexico would be doing some pretty weird things, and that it MIGHT solve the problem of immigration but hey just a thought.

We could get lucky.  It could cause a rift in space-time that would hurl us into a parallel universe where the President of the United States actually enforces Federal Law.

On second thought, ...No.  Surely, there's some weird s**t going down in the universe -- gamma ray bursts, dark matter, dark energy, Einstein-Rosen-bridges, eleven quantum dimensions, etc -- but the thought of Bush actually enforcing immigration law is just too strange to exist in this, or any other, universe.

Thats all we need, clueless mexican scientists playing with the universe oh GOD!

I don't know which is funnier; Bush enforcing immigration laws or the idea of a Mexican Space Agency.   It kind of brings a new meaning to "Make a run for the border."
