The Kantanka manufacturing brand which is owned by Ghanaian inventor, Apostle Kwadwo Safo Kantanka has launched and tested their first rocket which was made in Ghana.
The testing was televised on his television station as he showed the world that he is capable of inventing a rocket.
Kantanka has been very instrumental in the drive for people to appreciate locally-manufactured things to solve local problems.
He has demonstrated this by creating industrial machines including vehicles and super-powered gadgets; and is taking things a notch higher by manufacturing a local gadget for local challenges.
The video shows the rocket being test-launched in a river. It was dipped into water and allowed to shoot into the air. The rocket returned to the ground with a huge bang with its parts destroyed.
On the back of that, many Ghanaians believe although Katanka has good intentions at creating inventions locally, he needed to pull a break and assess critical areas he needs not to venture into.
Many intimated that although inventing a rocket was not a bad idea, it was risky for Kantanka to produce and test it, especially when it could cause dire damages if was not created well.
Some even went to the extent of describing Kantanka‘s rocket as a firecracker or knockout.
