text: does mexico have a space program? i was watching a repeat of south park last night about how the boys devised a plan to get a whale to the moon. they went to mexico and there was a mexican space agency or something...  do the mexicans really have something like this? mexicans i don't think so.   but in south america, in french guyana there is the  european space center, wich is the equivalent of cape canaveral for europeans. this is where ariane rockets are launched.
