It is a high time for Pakistan to pay more attention towards space exploration and technology. Many of the countries that have focused on this domain, including the US and India, have been able to boost their science and innovation capacities overall and have reaped tremendous economic and other benefits.
Greater investment in space exploration would not only create more job opportunities directly, but many of the technologies we come up with are likely to have commercial applications which can lead to the development of new companies and industries in Pakistan. The country’s untapped potential in the space sector presents a unique opportunity for growth and progress.
