> Still, at least India has a rocket going to Mars even if its children don't have toilets and clean water. These arguments are the worst as it conveniently misses the mark of the real world conditions. Yes India did spent on the Mars mission (a whopping $74mil) and in turn it actually got contracts to do launches for other countries and private corporations. So all in all a positive return on Investment. You see you start with $X and you make $X*2 which would now serve your purpose better than it would have before. Well on the bright side atleast you dint say lets decommission the NASA until we solve the problem of homelessness in US.
