Congratulations to all SW friends

@Royrogers Same could be asked about opera houses. Do we really need them?

@helenS are you suggesting a landing on the moon will improve our culture. Besides you are not comparing like with like. The health provision in the uk is one of the best. The one in India definitely needs more

@Royrogers Essentially, yes. Because improving technology is just as essential an element of our culture as music.

@helenS as this has already been achieved. Ok a different patch of dusty surface, then all it means is not much has improved. I assume all their towns and villages have clean running water?

@Royrogers ISRO is already earning through its projects

@Palvinderkaur ok so how is the infrastructure in India?

@Royrogers I'm not Indian so I can't answer that question; I would assume many villages don't have clean water. I would also assume that not landing on the Moon will not provide them with clean water. Really I think your approach is rather simplistic. No offence meant 🌷

@Royrogers India is improving day by day. You can search on google

@helenS No offence taken I just think this money is misspent. I also think the money on HS2 in the UK is wasted

@Royrogers Yes you may be right – I don't know. I see technology as an essential element of culture.

@Palvinderkaur good to hear I would still prefer all that massive amount of money to improve welfare and infrastructure

@helenS quite accept that a certain level of technology is indicative of an advanced culture. But I just think of the poor in India and I find it sad

@Royrogers India is the world's fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP

@Palvinderkaur that’s great but the provision of clean water doesn’t reflect that
