Chang Launches Liberia Project - Wants to Put Costa Rica in Orbit
"We are going to put the country in orbit, and we will start with the province of Guanacaste", were the words that Franklin Chang chose to announce his new scientific laboratory in Liberia. The first step of the project is to build 3 vacuum chambers. 2 will be exported to a company in the US to be used in plasma experiments related with the Chang plasma motor.
The research center will have an initial budget of $1 million and is located on the Daniel Oduber - La Flor university campus, which is a part of EARTH University.
Construction will begin February 15th and the center will open by July 1st. "I have always believed that this is like sowing the seeds of the future and we want to help our youth".
