A Spaceport In Ohio?

UglyTool writes to alert us to an initiative by the state of Ohio and the city of Columbus to lure Canadian rocketeers PlanetSpace to launch from an area airport (the former Lockbourne Air Force Base, now called Rickenbacker International Airport). A decision on the incentives could be made by January. From the article: "Such a package could include tax credits, financing programs and training grants amounting to millions of dollars... PlanetSpace's chairman, Indian-American entrepreneur Chirinjeev Kathuria, told MSNBC.com he expected the incentives to amount to 'somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million.'" Five other states have spaceports approved or planned.

Indians With "Solutions" for West, not India. Why?

[Anonymous Coward]

The Indians seem to have plenty of entreprenuerial solutions in the West.

Like many screwed-up societies, Indian society produces no solution for lifting Indians out of poverty. The Indians had 50+ years to build a prosperous society. Yet, the Indians utterly failed.

By contrast, the Japanese lifted themselves out of poverty within 27 years. Awesome.

What is the problem with the Indians? They can build companies launching spacecraft, but they cannot end the caste system. What a bunch of losers....

Of course

Good to see the state has a firm grasp of physics, as they do most sciences - like creationism - and .... creationism.
