Space Missions are a Wastage of Resources for a Resource-Starved Nation like India

There are definitely some uses of space missions. Sending satellites and other space related activities. If so many countries in the world are spending some billions and trillions of money on space missions it is because they are able to visualize the benefits and the future needs of the people. Today we are able to know the weather forecast, and many other things that are directly or indirectly linked with the space missions it is because of them.

Whether forecast is necessary for farmers and those who go into the sea. There are many other technological benefits of these space missions that we as a common man do not know. Many countries in the world, advanced countries, have gone far in research and in advancement in other fields because of these space missions. We need not compete with them but to help our country progress, and for the development of the people and the country. We definitely need space missions to the extent we need them.

Looking at the other side, there are many other factors that need to be addressed in the country. Many people suffering from lack of health facilities, lack of education. Financial needs to be addressed. In fact if we take a closer look at the needs of our country and the needs of the people. So many of them still striving hard to fulfill their bare needs, if we think from this angle definitely space missions are not out priority. And it is also valid if we feel that we are wasting lot of money on these space missions unnecessarily.

But, as with everything else, we need to prioritize, we can spend money on space missions, if we think that these will help people and common man in a huge way and help in the development of the country. But, spending money on the space missions, neglecting the bare needs of the people is not at all good.
