This news is hitting European media now... which led me here
Obviously this joke becomes a source of fake pride of many Indians. But as a guy whose tax $ is funding this stupid white elephant project, I feel outraged!
Yes, the EU donates hundreds of millions of aids euro to India annually. As a tax payer, my money is indirectly funding this project.
Why this shows the pinnacle of Indian hypocrisy and stupidity?
I'll use several mins here telling ya why:
1. wrong priority: when a large part of India is illiterate and starving, literally as the whole world knows it except Indians, someone on top in India has no shame in spending other people's aids money for their own ends of artificial glorification.
It is unfair to ordinary Indians, unethical to the int’l donors, and strictly speaking it is even illegal.
2. wrong target: why Mars? why not Saturn or Jupiter as a Chinese suggests (obviously he's much smarter shown by his satire)? The reason given by Indians is sth like
"if we succeed, we will be the 2nd nation after the US...if we fail, it'll help us technologically..."
Now that response is the evidence of typical 82 IQ or below. Why? Why not try this instead if using same logic and efforts but much better?----
"if we succeed in exploring Jupiter, we'll be the 1st in the world! if we fail, oke, it'll help us technologically, even more!"
So if I were you, at least I would choose a much further target earning much morebragging right with the exactly the same efforts.
No wonder with such stupidity around and throughout, India is such a basketcase, because any idea, no matter how outrageously stupid it is, will be supported by even much stupider audiences who have no clue of being taken for a ride.
3. wrong benefit groups: whose tech it helps? where the $$$ go?
If India can not build from A to Z a 3++ gen fighter like LCA Tejas, do you HONESTLY believe that it can accomplish such a thing like 5 gen fighter on its own? No. But Indians somehow are all convinced as "YES"
Again and again, in every field of HAL, or ISRO or DRDO, the same stupidity is shown in EVERY SINGLE of their "project" that is before even knowing how to crawl, they brag they will and is ready to sprint as fast as or even faster than Usain Bolt. ( Kavari, hello? they claimed they could built it in about a fraction of time and money that took much more experienced and technologically much more advanced France have done in similar things.
)
The lunar explorer that India sent to the much closer Moon was lost in contact after a short period of operation, hello??? Yet when NO better tech has ever been demonstrated after it, while somehow Indian ISRO is convinced it’s ready for much further away Mars – again, typical Indian brag to sprint before crawl.
Do you really really , honestly, think that India who even pays an army of Russian consultants, technologies and entire turnkey systems such as rocket fuel, guidance system, key designs and key high temperature super hard alloys all imported straight from Moscow on low tech rocket such as Agni V, but at the same time India somehow "magically" has much higher tech of its own for the more powerful Mars rocket, if not also importing/paying all star Russian technologies, key parts and personnel/consultants????
So where the main $$$ of this white elephant project go?
Russia.
Where the main tech ( rocket tech) come from?
Russia mainly, and possible also the EU, NASA.
Whose technologies, successfully or not, it will demonstrate mainly?
Russian.
Whose industries, knowhows “it will help mainly even when failed”?
Russian.
Where the minority of the $$$ go? Bonus of some Indian benefit persons in ISRO/DRDO, and their
Swiss bank accounts account, of course.
…
above is the simple logical check list that most of entire Europeans, North East Asians and (white)Americans will tell ya.
Thus, succeed or not, India and Indians who in a fool’s paradise are happy and feel proud of it, while the rest of the developed world will look down
further upon this laughing stock. Now you know why.
