I see India has launched a rocket to go to Mars. I wonder just how much of our OVERSEAS AID we GAVE them helped to pay for it?.
I am going to play Nostradamus here, and say, I can forsee in the future, them giving US aid.

I wonder what the payload is?….. the first Corner shop on Mars?
Its ok spending trillions on Carriers, Rockets to Mars and a powerful military, but as the majority of the country is living in the middle ages, it would have been better spent improving the lot of the rest of the country first.

Not flippantly at all, Chas.
Moggs, this handout should have been stopped immediately the President told Cameron his Country didn’t want or need it.

Yes and that has been discussed here as as well. I imagine Linc was referring, flippantly, to what has already been spent.

It has already been announced that we are ceasing aid to India.

Did I even imply that? I rolled my eyes!! Anyway, you know what I think because we have discussed the whole foreign aid farce in at least two or even three other threads.:)

So do you think Chas we should keep giving money to a Country whoes economy is growing at a faster rate than ours?.

Indirectly, I would say we have given the rocket a hefty shove!!:rolleyes:
