India moves into "First World" status while Obama halts NASA and moves us into "Third World" status. Thanks Idiot of the United States.
I was not aware that NASA got halted. If that is true, that is a bad news. I think we need more and more countries contributing towards space exploration for the benefit of mankind.
As far as India is concerned, it is a very long way from becoming a first world country. But they are certainly making efforts. They seem to understand that prosperity does not come by sitting around wishing for things. It comes after deliberate efforts. I am glad that India is taking initiatives to advance space technology in the country which creates jobs and enables various other civil projects resulting in benefits for millions of Indians.
Really? When the shuttle program was ended with no replacement NASA was halted. Where have you been?
Shuttle program did not seem to live up to its promise. I think that has more to do with its termination. As far as NASA is concerned, there is more to it than its shuttle program. NASA is still the most sophisticated space agency on the Earth with some fascinating plans for the future. I do agree that NASA's funding should be increased not decreased.
