So if i land a shoe there it would be awesome?
Yes.
Good luck doing that though.
It would.
I think you guys should pay attention to more important things than someone landing his shoes somewhere
If a person without a nation state's budget behind him can land an object even one the size of a shoe on the moon that would be a major scientific breakthrough and an incredible engineering achievement.
Simply the economics of the feat would basically instantly revolutionise a whole host of industries. Even spaceX who's whole thing is making the economics of space reasonable is nowhere close .
We put humans there 50 years ago, landing a shoe won't achieve anything other than boost someone ego
What's your business dictating what others do?
You know what is implied in the ability to land a shoe on the moon, right?
Whoever threw it up there has an amazing pitching arm?
You don't get to dictate what's important and what's not
I don't, logic does. If india were to take care of the poverty plaguing the country and shit like the caste system in a bunch of years the space program and all sort of research would benefit for the universal wealth produced by a fair society
Well you're not being illogical, you're being irrational.
Without the space program, there is no motivation to fix the poverty problem. Your priorities are just all out of whack.
dafuq?
The fact india has a space program while a good chunk of the population still live in huts sounds like a joke to me
What's with the misery?
