talk about gormint expenditure..India has just cocked up the Chandrayan mission to the moon. Of course we can argue about what "cocked up" means ad nauseum.
ReplyDeleteBUT IS IT FAIR FOR A "DEMOCRATIC" COUNTRY WHICH HAS NOT YET MANAGED GUTTERS/STORM DRAINS/SEWAGE SYSTEMS/SIDEWALKS/HIGHWAYS/DRINKING WATER...TO BE SENDING EXPENSIVE "MISSIONS" TO THE MOON?
what kind of "inclusive" "participatory" democracy manages space probes before sewage systems ? Madam, hold on to your bladder this is india! HA HA HA. Sir, any wall will do for you.
of course on the ground the reality is worse...state gormints can't "manage" to place orders for air conditioned buses even.
