Over 40 million Americans are living below the poverty line (12 million of those are children), that’s 12% of the population of the country. To compare and contrast India’s got 150 million people living below the poverty line with a population of 1.4 billion, that’s 10% of their population. Yet we spend $33 billion on our space program. For those playing at home India’s moon landing cost around $75 million.
To pull the poverty card on India for starting a space program that is lifting up their people’s national self worth is just about the most imperialist thing you could do.
I swear I see some shit like that in every comment section for posts mentioning India. I don’t know why people can’t be negative about everything and celebrate the accomplishments without mentioning the flaws of the country. I assume the previous guys are trolling or just dislike India.
