30% people of India think thrice to take a bus to their neihboring town. 30% people of India do not have proper housing. 50% people of India do not have access to proper sanitation. 35% people of India do not have access to health care. what benefit will the spending on the Mars will derive for these poor people and for the tax payers. Why can't such money be diverted to the uplift the facilities for the people?
It's okay to build satalites etc., Do we really need to know what is going on in Mars or on Moon????
