    "content": "of Parliamentarians to state that my career was changed because of San Marco. I had joined Mombasa Technical Institute to study mechanical engineering but, when I visited that space center, I changed my mind. I was taken up the stairs in the sea, some 25 kilometers away, and I saw lights glittering and I wanted to find out what it was doing. This was the launching pad for the Italian Rocket Science Foundation. I changed my mind and decided to study electrical engineering. Now, it is so fulfilling that, after so many years, I come back to do the actual study on that project. That project sits in Malindi. In the past, it was used as a launching pad for rockets. The rockets being launched from San Marco were to gather information, data and the distance that it was launched. That was done so many times until 1987 when this was stopped. Since then, it is being used for nothing other than monitoring satellites that are being launched from other various institutions such as ESA, which is a European Satellite Space Agency. There is Intel Sat which I worked for thirty years in the capacity of a senior engineer in satellite communication. There is Arab Sat satellite being launched from China. Why are they using San Marco as a monitoring station? They are using it because it is geographically located and suitable for monitoring all the launches that transverse across the equatorial area."
