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 Desi
scientist who offered to help. NASA people were desperate by that time and
agreed to do anything.
"Tilt the rocket 90 degrees to the right" said the Desi scientist.
The engineers were puzzled but did it anyway.
"Bring it back to vertical position" the Desi 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 CD70 motorcycles in Pakistan "
