For 1000s of years, humanity had advanced on finding gods and hence founded religions. For few centuries now, humanity has been advancing on economic development. I wonder what next after we achieve economic development. Like, WHAT'S THE NEXT THING WE WOULD STRIVE TO ADVANCE ON ?
mind you, to this day, ISRO pays 0 rupees to undergraduate students to work there + no accomodation + no food arrangements are given
I dreamed as a kid to work at ISRO, it was my literal dream as a kid, it's not viable for any kid to dream to work at a place which pays a lumpsum of 0 RUPEES to work there
How can you not be optimistic?
How can you not wake up every day and not be motivated when men and women out there are making miracles possible .
These things used to happen in US, now they happen here. The motivation is right in your backyard.
How can you be a blackpiller when the future is in your hands?
Love it or hate it, one major reason many tech entrepreneurs are willing to take bold risks today is the impetus provided by the Modi government. Even today, a large section of Indian businesses operates with a trading mindset. Many large business houses invest in R&D more for optics than for genuine innovation.
In such a scenario, the greatest hope lies in technocrats, college graduates, engineers building and leading businesses. That has become more feasible because the Modi government shifted some of the underlying incentives and policy gears.
The Indian civilisation is meant to be a space-faring civilisation. God doesn't award you a location so perfect for it only for you to launch twice a year. You are supposed to take off twice a day and honour the god's wish.

why are companies like NASA, SpaceX, ISRO, etc. called "space" companies? what do they actually have to do with space? aren't they really companies that build technology for non-Earth environments? (that's how I'd describe them.).......
space may not be an object inside reality. may be part of the very framework that makes "objects," "locations," and "distance" meaningful in the first place.
