It's all coming slowly.

Britain was a super-power for a long long time but her population during that time lived in extreme poverty. You know why? It's because the Government was too busy building her infrastructure.

And you can see it's fruits 300 years later.

Its a complete waste of funds, that can be used for the good of the country rather than some prestige thing.

Re: Pakistan to explore the moon: Musharraf

Why don't all the wannabe smartasses feeling the pain of the common man actually get to Pakistan and do something on the ground, like Shehzad Roy did?

As far as this moon bit is concerned, we'll get there, sooner or later. It's a step in the right direction.

@Starsky

Will Musharraf also reach for Uranus?

he already has reached of some indians ****, I dont know about the rest.

I support captain’s statement on this issue. I would rather see my country developing a sturdy infrastructure instead.

Musharraf reaches for the moon

ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to put Pakistan on the map of nations exploring space, said President General Pervez Musharraf at the graduation ceremony of the Institute of Space Technology’s (IST) first batch of BSc in aeronautical, aeronautical engineering and communication systems engineering on Friday.

“We must explore space and bring its benefits to the people of Pakistan,” he said at the ceremony attended by federal ministers, services chiefs, senior government officials and the institute’s faculty. He vowed to launch a manned flight to space and even the moon in the coming years. Musharraf said the country’s space programme had been neglected in the past, and adequate funds had not been provided for its development. He said the government was providing funds to all research and strategic organisations to achieve the desired results.

The government had brought Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission under the National Command Authority’s control to bring the commission at par with strategic organisations, he said, adding that the government had realised the potential of space in terms of socio-economic development and security.

Recalling his visit to SUPARCO last year, the president said he was pleased to see the progress made by a team of young engineers and technicians. Giving his vision of Pakistan’s space programme, he asked SUPARCO to develop the country’s capacity to make and launch various types of satellites, especially communication, remote sensing and metrological satellites. “We expect SUPARCO to deliver as PAEC, NESCOM and KRL delivered in the nuclear and missile fields,” he said, asking graduating students to dedicate themselves to the vision’s fulfilment…

Years ago, long before Pakistan became a nuclear power, Arabs I used to know made fun of Pakistan's nuclear ambitions. The common theme was how poor a country Pakistan is and it has nuclear ambitions.

It all changed within a decade.

Times change people, don't be so short sighted.

Re: Pakistan to explore the moon: Musharraf

All the differences with Mush aside, atleast appreciate if something good is done.

Going into space is not cheap but that does not mean Pakistan must not move towards satellite launches etc. If India can why can't we?

A person does make mistakes but guys come on, atleast this step of his is commendable and also his steps to improve higher education.

This really is the kind of thinking Pakistan should have. There is no doubt that going into space would boost our development - agriculture, GIS etc...

Re: Pakistan to explore the moon: Musharraf

^^ Nobody is against satellite launches. But talking about going to moon, when 60% plus of Pakistani can’t even read or write their names, is a joke.

Re: Pakistan to explore the moon: Musharraf

I never thought President Musharraf would think this way, but have to admit he proved me wrong. Pakistan and Pakistanis always looked down upon in the world; this is the kind of forward thinking we need. Question is why we should not help the poor; well I believe there will be a budget allocated for the space program, which is the right way to go. When Americans went to the moon, they were not the riches or powerful but look what it did to their self-belief. Look, how it changed the world, space program helps the nation, look what NASA has done for science and technology.

Re: Pakistan to explore the moon: Musharraf

Why dont some you idiots see what NASA has done for the USA and world through space missions. Most of the cutting edge technology today is an offshoot of the space program. better weather, better fishing climate change etc... all linked to a space program. Can mae or break a country. You pindus just dont see the big picture.

Re: Pakistan to explore the moon: Musharraf

^^ Thanks to NASA we have climate change in the first place because of all the damage they have done to the ozone layer from their shuttle launches
