Amazing what aid money can do when half your country are living on tip waste

doesnt india have starving children how many cans of curry and rice WERE wasted just to find our you cant go to the moon its too far!!! mistakes are made all the time but not as expensive (ive made some money mistakes as well havent we all). Hopefully they learn for the next!

why are we sending them aid when they're wasting money on space exploration instead of improving the plight of the poor? Time we cut foreign aid

Did the Americans tell them right now about their deal with the aliens and which places on the moon are forbidden for humans?

£119 million? Was it cancelled because the plastic was brittle after 1 day in the sun?
