We are attempting where it will really make a difference FOR US.
for now, we are investing in ballistic and cruise missile technology. You will hear about a potent missile defence system in the next 10 years.. and possibly anti satellite missile tech in the next 15-20 years.
As a Pakistani, I am happy that government is prioritizing things. We have a lot of problems that need solution.. and I am sure that you have many more problems than us as well.
For us, neutralizing a threat called India is the main focus.. that ensures existence, then come economy, heath, education and poverty reduction.
Once the above are solved, we will definitely invest in landing on other planets
