The people that push for Indian space exploration are either (1) not living in India, or (2) they are living in India and doing well economically.
If you ask people living in the slums about this, they’ll give you a very different perspective than what you read on HN. And they vastly outnumber the people in India who are doing well.

- zelphirkalt 7y agoThis website mistreats me. Asks me to whitelist it in my adblocker. Then I am sceptical and think: "Hmmm, why do they need JS for a simple information page?
