a nice juicy fuck you to the 150,000,000 people living on £2 a day
Ice cold take. Space programs are almost entirely about increasing domestic production with a strong R&D and training emphasis.
Don’t tell me, tell the hungry. They’d love to hear your ice cold takes
At least they aren't investing it in more nuclear weapons to point at Pakistan.
It's not like they could have taken this money and made any significant impact on the problem. Plus space programs have indirect long term benefits that are hard to calculate.
More scientists and high tech industries is a good thing for a country.
There are too many poor people so it’s not worth bothering ?
You could feed and clothes tens of millions of people with India’s space budget - and educate them as rocket scientists if you wanted .
Space exploration is largely a folly, while people are hungry .
keep seething .
There are corrupt politicians and businessmen who steal money from the poor and spend it on stupid shit that is definitely higher than ISRO's budget and yet ISRO's budget is the only thing that we need to shit about.
