Describing the launch as 'perfect and precise,' the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), G Madhavan Nair, said that it would be 14 days before the satellite would enter into lunar orbit. Chandrayaan carries eleven payloads: five designed and developed in India, three from the European Space Agency, one from Bulgaria and two from NASA."

Actually, every decision that everyone makes determines what your next "outcome" will be. If I "get sick, and savings are rendered worthless when the great Free Market has one of its funny turns" like you said, I can only blame on myself. Nobody else is responsible for my own decision to jump into it.

Sure, some people really have no chance because of sickness since they're born. But, at least in cities where there are reasonable education system, most people do have their chance. If they make the decision not to work themselves up, then I see that as their decision, and they deserves to stay in that condition.

Helping others may be a plus. But nevertheness, nobody is responsible for other people's life or decision that hurt themselves. The most natural side of fairness is, I don't need your help, and don't ask for my help.
