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.
It is when so much of their population struggles in poverty 🙃
