The seven members of Team ZA won at NASA space engineering competition and beat the world at a high-level international competition on their first attempt.
Team ZA was placed at the company Rockdonnell, alongside teams from the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, China, and two regions of the United States
This year’s brief, set in 2086, asked the companies to design a crewed vessel capable of carrying 3,000 residents and cargo continuously between settlements across the inner Solar System.
Rockdonnell‘s proposal, named Hermes, used a rotating structure to generate three separate levels of artificial gravity.
It also featured nuclear thermal and ion propulsion, and a magnetic shield to protect residents from solar radiation.

A young man with a dream 👇
My name is Sandile Msizi. I'm born in 1987 and I live in Motherwell, Ward 54, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), South Africa. I am writing to kindly request sponsorship for a new electric wheelchair.
I was born with a permanent disability and have used a wheelchair all my life. In 2012, I received a second-hand manual wheelchair from a donor in Walmer. Over the years it has required frequent repairs, and it is now very difficult for me to use.
As I get older, I experience pain and weakness in my right arm. Pushing my manual wheelchair has become a major challenge. I often have to ask people to push me, and I have to pay someone to assist me when I need to go anywhere. This limits my independence and dignity.
I am currently unemployed. However, I completed a learnership programme at Siyaya Skills Institute in Business Administration Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, and SMME. I have certificates for all these courses and I am committed to using my skills to contribute to my community.
An electric wheelchair would change my life. It would allow me to move independently again, attend appointments, look for work opportunities, and take part in daily activities without having to rely on others to push me.
I would be grateful for any assistance or sponsorship you can provide.
You can contact me on:
Phone: +27 60 368 7832
Email: [email protected]
Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Sandile Msizi

South African swimmers have now won 16 Commonwealth Games medals despite inadequate funding.
Federations are still waiting for grants already due while parents pay to send athletes abroad.
Yet Gayton McKenzie found R31m for his World Cup spectacle. You do the math...
