Hopefully this time I'll get it right.  A tribute to the skills at scale modelling - by Theo - and a tribute to our students who are helping build the real thing in conjuction with the French Institute of Technology.

Hello Rosemary,

Reply #556: What is it a picture of?

Hi - another Bill?  It's a satellite.  SA have only ever sent one up into orbit.  This is a new one proposed - and being built in conjunction with a couple of campuses here in the Western Cape.  We're all very proud of the efforts - and I think with good reason.  Actually there are two being built.  I just thought I need pay some small tribute to these HUGE inroads our academic scientists are covering.  And I happened to know the maker of the scale model.

It's entirely OFF topic - but I'm sort of associated with one of these campuses - and just wanted to point out how PROGRESSIVE and EXCELLENT are  the general academic standards.  We're third world in many, many ways.  But when one looks at this standard of expertise - education - skills - and so on - then I know we're certainly NOT third world in educational standards.  It's a source of endless pride.

Regards,
Rosemary

Thanks Rosemary, Now I understand.

Keep up the good work,

  I'm not complaining.  It's a nice name - and seems to belong to some really nice people.  Thanks for the good wishes. 

Kindest regards,
Rosemary
