Why are countries still persuing space stations? We need to establish bases on rocky bodies (moons, planets and asteroids). Space stations are yesterday's tech.

There is still so much to learn about life in microgravity. And living in Orbital space stations isn’t going anywhere. If you are thinking long long term it’s more likely we’ll be disassembling planets to produce O’Neill Cylinders since planets are an inefficient use of matter.

Information isn't shared as freely as people think. A nation having its own space station goes a long way in studying the effects of space on individuals and trialing ways to sustain operations over the long term on other planets / moons.

India plans to have its own space station by 2035 and is also eyeing deep space missions, human space flights, cargo missions and putting multiple communication satellites into orbit at the same time

They just went from 55.1% to 16.4% vs Americas 11%? Perhaps they ARE trying? Perhaps it's possible to do two things at once? https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2022-10-17-poverty-rate-india-was-slashed-says-report-globally-12bn-still-poor

Space programs are a handy way for governments to expand their military budgets without actually saying they're spending it on miltiary budgets.

The country of India has reduced the levels of extreme poverty from 22.5% in 2011 to 9.8% in 2019.
They are scheduled to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030.

Compare that to china just changing the definition of poverty, the real race between India and China will be clean tap water

Same with china, could start with giving their people clean water

What a waste of money considering the planet is dying rapidly.

We live on a planet where dog clothing is a multimillion dollar industry and you're attacking space exploration as a waste of money?...

hmm. planet is dying, better not try to go anywhere else.
good plan. great plan. cant wait till the sequel: sun is dying better not try and leave the solar system.

Cool we can explore space instead of spending resources on planning for regrowth and the coming hellstorm of resource wars and mass migrations. Coooool.

You realize we can work towards exploring space and saving the planet at the same time, right?

Maybe India could finish cleaning the mess they did with the anti-satellite missile detonations of 2019, before sending more junk up there...?
