India Just Launched a Navigation Satellite (While Trying to Save Another One)...

India's space program bothers me; it seems to be a waste of resourses in a country where people still starve and millions live in destitution. Why not spend those billions on providing clean drinking water or sewage treatment?
I'm sure, like in the US, that the space program is closely linked to the Defense apparatus. How can they launch nukes to Pakistan without rockets?
@phxbillcee They could just plant them right at the border, these two nations are on top of each other so, either one risks destroying themselves with their own missiles.
@HeathenFarmer But religion is involved, too, so anything can happen!
