Sir: Big claps and kudos to Japan and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) on their latest mission to Ryugu. The Hayabusa II spacecraft has now successfully touched down on the asteroid Ryugu. In fact the Japanese mission is quite interesting and completely inspiring. And Hayabusa-II has been engaged on the great mission to get the clues to the origin of the solar system and that of life on Mother Earth. So many interesting things have just started unfolding now and the media houses are now greatly discussing the whole episode.
Having talked about this experiment, the Asian region having been hit by internal conflicts and terrorism should be put on the front burner in the matter of developing scientific activities. The fact is that science and its advances will not only strengthen the whole international community but will also enable the people to live in a healthy and wealthy manner.
Therefore, all the Asian nations like India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka should draw up the bigger scientific plans starting right away. As a result of this in the process, the whole Asian region and the people will come much stronger on the international stage on the major fronts like education, knowledge, science, health, wealth and economy to name a few.
