That's the thing.....space exploration is not has fancy and prestigious as it once was, hence why NASA, has been on the decline and why more developed and far richer countries than India, dont have space programmes.
i disagree brother , space exploration is quietly getting tens of billions in research, the likes of bill gates, jeff bezos, US gov and NATO, the Russians, Chinese, Indians,
there is a little known secret
Helium 3 which can be used in Fusion energy once its developed, so far the human race has come a long way, ITER is being built in france with some 20 nations funded by the likes of USA, Korea, china, russia etc placing in 50$ billion,
so if we create fusion energy, the human race no longer needs to invade each other as energy would be super cheap, we will have billions of years, and helium 3 has other uses, manufacturing, medicine, etc
the next trillionaire/ trillion dollar industries will come from space, there is gold, helium 3, massive amounts of reosuces like gas/methane etc
also lots of rare earth minerals that is sued for technology like satellites, phones, computers so watch this space, the likes of bill gates, jeff bizos funding billions into reseearch for space exploration
india just wants to be the first nation to extract helium 3, india is massively depended on US good will to buy oil from her arab US vessel states, and the US can sanction you so easily, like now US banned india from buying iranian oil through SWIFT with our firing a single shot,
ant to make money in the next trillion dollar industry? go into or learn fusion energy/nuclear sciences or Quantum computing, the two things getting billions in research today that will chnage nations in the coming hundreds of years,
