Africa Flying

Aerial/geospatial intel for African logistics. Live PostGIS · 19 countries · drone & eVTOL R&D. Not flying yet - building the stack first.

[Africa Flying @AfricaFlying]

Imagine a workshop that has not yet opened its hangar doors to the real sky. On the benches sit maps of nineteen countries, a glowing box of satellite greenness, two pretend airfields that share one room without pretending Lagos sits next to Nairobi, and a quiet watcher named Soma who writes everything down. That workshop is Africa Flying. It is not an airline. It is not a fleet of drones humming over the Sahel tonight. It is the nervous system being built first: software, maps, memory, and rules, so that when metal finally leaves the ground the operators already know the ground.What follows is the same system told five times, as if the listener grew older in the chair.

the repeated numbers are off the charts at the moment.

something big is happening for sure either collectively, personally or both 😋

I'm convinced 2026 to 2036 is the decade that will decide the rest of your life. The tools are free. The gatekeepers are gone. AI just handed every person on earth the output of a small team.

Most people will use it to consume faster.
The "lucky few" will use it to build.

There was a successful orbital launch from Kenya in 1967..

Kenya went on to host 9 successful orbital space launches between 1967 and 1975, making it the premier equatorial launch site during the early space race.

[Bram | Astronomy🇰🇪 @astro_bram]

I dedicated this page to highlighting the advancement of space exploration and the growth of the space sector in Kenya and across Africa.

SpaceX's Starship rocket has successfully reached orbit and deployed its V3 Starlink satellites into orbit for the first time, officially making this Starship's first revenue-generating flight, a major milestone for the company!

Congrats @SpaceX team! Incredible achievement 🚀

[Africa Flying @AfricaFlying]

Legendary 🔥🔥🔥 vibe your Tuesday up 🔝

Wild 🤯

[Aaron Burnett @aaronburnett]

To put V3 Starlink significance into context for investors, here is a starlink bandwidth estimate based on our conservative launch forecasts out to 2028.

Our base case launch forecast suggests 8 Pbps of bandwidth (8,000 Terabits per second) in orbit by 2028, which only uses 151 Starship launches (1 launch every ~2 days, Elon and SpaceX are targeting 8k+ a year)

8 Pbps is enough bandwidth to more than 10x all of Starlink's bandwidth today, and put Starlink's global 2028 bandwidth supply about equal to ALL of the global internet traffic bandwith demand in 2025.

@Xreals45K @elonmusk @aaronburnett 🤣🤣🤣

[Rajiv Khaneja @rajivkhaneja]

Today SpaceX's Starship just launched the entire mass of the international space station in one single launch.

It look the NASA 37 launches to do the same

For the same cost as the international space station we can now build an entire small city in space inhabited by perhaps tens of thousands of people.

This isn't science fiction. We could actually do this for the same price as the ISS.

[Tesla Owners Silicon Valley @teslaownersSV]

This isn’t CGI

Starship is the vehicle to get us to Mars

[Bram | Astronomy🇰🇪 @astro_bram]

Everyone deserves to see a rocket launch at least once in their lifetime.
It’s a magical experience.

I would never miss even a single launch when Kenyan revives it's Malindi launch capabilities, I swear.
