Heads in the stars

21 people died when a rocket in the Brazilian space programme exploded on the launch pad.

A terrible event for the country, but what the hell is Brazil doing with a space programme.
Europe, with some of the richest countries in the world, has a modest programme lobbing a few satellites up every year, but Brazil has millions living in poverty.

How do they justify the expense, apart from stroking some egos.
