RE:Land on moon and attain what?
by Sundaresan Krishnaswami on Feb 05, 2007 05:10 PM

Of course people are starving, infrastructure is pathetic, slums and pollution levels on the high, no money to link rivers and India is surrounded by so many other issues. Our tax money is well utilised to sponsor so many policitians luxury, convenience and security. Do you get any police protection anyday since your paying tax? Or will any policeman escort your sister's vehicle when she drives late into the night? The answer is No! You don't even get clean drinking water for the tax that you pay, the very basic necessity of life. So that you paid tax, you are not given any respect in your own country and nobody bothers using your money the right way.

Just that the scientists are so busy funding their research with our tax money to launch some hydrogen fuelled vehicle to the moon which I am sure will explode mid-way. The need of the hour is to start exploring ways to fund scientific research to cut down fuel costs, build better and sturdier roads, improve defense research and find ways to fund defense research by commercialising their ideas, help distribute meterological findings in a better and quicker way to farmers, Link all rivers through pipelines and clean or build reservoirs around each river. There is so much one can think of in building India to a superior nation, instead of banking pride by launching some vehicle which is of no use to the country.
