So a majority of Russian, Chinese and Indian citizens have all voted specifically in favor of their tax revenues being used for space travel? Or have their respective governments simply spent the money on the glorification of politicians without seeking consent?
Avoiding imprisonment, torture and murder does not equate, in my book, to consent. And thanks to religion and local corruption, the Indian electorate is too busy attacking itself to be concerned with the minutiae of government expenditure.The problem with vanity projects is that large opposition parties (where they exist) aspire to basking in their success if they get elected before completion!
