There are some who
question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there
is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the
economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or
manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful
role nationally and in the comity of nations, we must be second to none in
the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and
society.
