NASA was getting ready to launch a very important
space shuttle. The scientists and engineers checked
and double checked everything to
make sure that things are fine.
However, on the day of our launch, something seemed to
be wrong.
The rocket gave all sorts of noise but never took off
even an inch from the ground. The engineers were
puzzled because they could not figure out the problem.
Finally, there was a Pakistani scientist who offered
to help.
NASA people were desperate by that time and agreed to
do anything.
“Tilt the rocket 45 degrees to the right” said the
Pakistani scientist.
The engineers were puzzled but did it anyway.
“Bring it back to vertical position” the Pakistani
said.
The engineers did.
“Now start the engines” he said.
And surprise, the rocket took off and flew into outer
space!
Everybody congratulated him and asked him how he knew
what to do.
He replied
“It is very simple. This is what we always do with our
CD 70 motor bike in Pakistan”.
