One of the most populous countries has become a strong contender in space exploration. Hopefully, it will inspire so many more Indians to push it further and elevate the humanity, just like USA and USSR once did. It's great.

Also here come the British news lamenting about how India is wasting money instead of focusing on their poor. Slumdog Millionaire mentality.

NASA often gets the same treatment, particularly so during the Apollo program when they were getting a lot of money. It doesn't matter the country, a lot of people don't see the sense in spending a single pence on space.

One of my favorite quotes is, "When a wise man points at the moon the imbecile examines the finger." So pertinent, but also with so absurdly much imagery, symbolism, and metaphor packed into just a few words. But perhaps the most remarkable thing is that that quote's 2500 years old. Technology changes so much, but we largely seem to be the exact same people we were even thousands of years in the past.

Also the British news when money is spent on the poor: "Scamming Scavs with 17 Kids Showered with Tax-Payer's Money".

Most British news outlets really are a scourge on our society.
