Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?
It is a strange argument

The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future
Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China
India made a Maruti 800 that could take a trip between two places, at a lower cost that the States that had a Ferrari take the same trip long ago

I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way

Is reducing immigration a potential solution to the housing crisis in Britain?
Does India have the necessary set up in place?
The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

Didn't the States put living people on the moon?
