But...they're not doing both. What comes to mind, just one big thing, is the rape culture. That's a HUGE issue, and everything about the way it has and is being handled is deplorable and woefully inadequate.

But then, I want us to work towards a future where we have some sort of common space program, rather than numerous different countries all wasting money reinventing wheels for clout instead of just working together.

how would the “rape culture” be influenced by india stopping its space program?

This is like saying the US should stop spending money on lots of things until the gun violence problem is solved.

Ok.....so you expect the scientists who are working on space systems to better put their efforts to solve a (hypothetical) rape culture?

How do you think their skillsets translate into solving rape culture?

India is doing both and more. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I think you replied to the wrong comment. I specifically referenced the rape endemic, and I said the way it is being handled is deplorable and woefully inadequate. And it is.

Looks like it’s being handled better than many Western countries:

What's US doing about the gun culture? Your roundabouts are ridiculous.

Could it be that you are just plain ignorant?
