I read with interest today that India have launched a rocket to go to Mars. As you are all aware this is not exactly a cheap thing to do, my question is, do you think a country that receives millions in aid to help its starving/poverty stricken people should be wasting money on this sort of venture?
By the way I am totally in favour of countries such as ours helping those less fortunate. But I do think our "leaders" should be saying to them, hang on a mo' how can you afford this? (Bit like our HST project)
