5th Feb: 9 Feb

It would be too much repition if I called these days 'busy' as well, so I am going to call them 'eventful'

I had the chance to meet someone who remains unnammed here, who is rather famous and quite a pioneer in what he does, however, now looking to make money by (almost) breaking the law (or the ethics that one can say, in my belief, are customs)...

Some argue that if there is a push required to change things in the world: you need someone to first break the law... but I remain unconvinced.

Dad once said to me that "there is nearly not as much of a challenge in making money as there is in making money by completely clean means". Dad was true - the more I find out about business, the more I tend to become sceptical! Before, it used to make me a better engineer, they told me: now, I think it makes me confused.

It seems to manifest itself as a bigger challenge here, when sadly enough, this individual also sits on the board that decides the 'next big thing that would bring about a change so as to make space just as accessible for the developing countries' and awards prizes for it!

Space is a small world.

But, whilst I spent all the rather finite few minutes whilst I try to fall asleep pondering upon our perception of 'right' and 'wrong' for matters that are as distant as selling iron from an asteriod to the world by crashing space ships in desert lands in Africa.... I did get some good news. I have been appointed the Point of Contact for India for the United Nations Space Generation Advisory Council!

Oh, invited to Vienna for being part of the delegation to UN! Looking forward to that!
