If a person without a nation state’s budget behind him can land an object even one the size of a shoe on the moon that would be a major scientific breakthrough and an incredible engineering achievement.
Simply the economics of the feat would basically instantly revolutionise a whole host of industries. Even spaceX who’s whole thing is making the economics of space reasonable is nowhere close .
I don’t, logic does. If india were to take care of the poverty plaguing the country and shit like the caste system in a bunch of years the space program and all sort of research would benefit for the universal wealth produced by a fair society
Well you’re not being logical, you’re being irrational.
Without the space program, there is no motivation to fix the poverty problem. Or the technology, resources or education. Your priorities are just all out of whack.
That’s because it’s only now starting to industrialize, and that’s due in no small part to them forming a space program.
Space is so vitally important not just for access to resources and clean energy but for the most important assets we have: our psyches. Space inspires, it bolsters education, it gives people reason to have faith in their country and keep going, it brings peace and love and joy. It’s the lifeblood that drives the engines of science and progress in a peaceful way.
It gives people something to strive for, something to actually live for instead of only focusing on survival, like you have. It unifies while your mindset divides. It fosters cooperation while you foster conflict.
It’s the most important thing we are doing as a species, and India will benefit far more from having a Moon program than trying to convince people to give up thousands of years’ worth of traditional living for no reason.
You’re drawing a false dichotomy anyway; without the resources in space, India won’t be able to industrialize cleanly nor will any country. We simply don’t have enough resources on the Earth to provide an average American lifestyle for everyone on the planet which India especially is going to strive for regardless of the cost, so it’s either expand into space or collapse into climate hell.
Grow or die. You can stay down here and die if you want; I choose to grow and so does India apparently
So if i land a shoe there it would be awesome?
Yes.
Good luck doing that though.
It would.
I think you guys should pay attention to more important things than someone landing his shoes somewhere
You know what is implied in the ability to land a shoe on the moon, right?
Whoever threw it up there has an amazing pitching arm?
Or leg. It’s a shoe, maybe they just unlaced it and kicked very hard?

We put humans there 50 years ago, landing a shoe won’t achieve anything other than boost someone ego
What’s your business dictating what others do?
You don’t get to dictate what’s important and what’s not

dafuq?
The fact india has a space program while a good chunk of the population still live in huts sounds like a joke to me

Nothing cleaner than rocket fuel, you should drink some.
Such as eating burgers for breakfast and being overweight? I have bad news for you, there’s no cheese on the moon
What’s with the misery?
