Swedish Space Program

[Donald]

Apparently in the late 1960s or 1970s Sweden was considering starting a space program. One of the proponents of the program said they were looking to send a rocket ship to the sun.

A person said "you can't do that, the rocket ship will burn up".

The response was "we know that, so that's why we will do it at night".

Swedes always thinking of safety first.

I spent a decade working with a Swedish dominated multinational. I can say with confidence that Sweden has more than its share of space cadets.
