Estonia Beats Finland to space

**PeacefulCaribbeanDutch** · 05-08-2013, 05:29 PM

this shows estonia is so far winning over despite the russian migration / spies

anyway good job estonia you beat out Finland bitches!

All estonia has to do is not allow any mass immigration into the country and they can stay on the path of a world leader.

However if they allow too many indians / pakistanis/ chinese whose minds are good at memorizing, but not innovating they will not advance as fast as they want or if they allow too many russians or any sort of weird migration.

Keep it up Eestilane, stay estonian and you shall be great

Estonia becomes a space nation (video of the launch)

By Estonian World in Technology · May 7, 2013 · 1 Comment

Estonia’s first satellite, ESTCube-1, was rocketed off to orbit the Earth early morning on Tuesday, thus making Estonia the 41st nation to have a man-made object in space.

Estonia has become the 41st nation to have a man-made object in space, beating out Finland and the other Baltic countries, all of which are due to launch their first satellites in the coming years.

no because the Russian people who go to estonia are the poor russians with no education who want a better life. Look at countries like Ukraine.. they are not better off with a ton of russians.

Russia? What's that? Some sort of terra incognita in Africa?

Finland till only 3 years ago actually would build Nokia phones inside Finland.. Russia uses chinese, but the point is not about russia, russia is a nice country, but also HUGE with more poor people than the population of estonia. Even if 7% are poor, that is more than the population of estonia and many go to estonia to look for work and better lives and also the russian promotes them to try and russify Estonia. A russified Estonia would not be making spaceships or being world technology leader, it would look like Belarus or Ukraine.
