While the U.S.’s NASA program has a $24b budget, India’s ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) budget is just $1.3b. India, which started its space program in 1963, is able to do more with less because of ...

How technology hurts the entertainment industry just like Amazon hurts the retail industry.
August 1, 2023
