"If India had all these bright students that these elitists are claiming they would have been the first on the moon"

Not without Wernher Von Braun and maybe some of the other former Nazi rocket scientists.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Von Braun, the only man to be awarded the Iron Cross from Adolph Hitler and the Medial of Freedom from LBJ. He wisely never wore them.

Thats the point isn’t it . We need a handful of Germans not 80,000 per year for 30 years.

Von Braun?
Don’t kid yourself.
Yes, he passed on knowledge from his V-2 days.
But he admitted that he got a lot of his smarts from American Paul Goddard.

And don’t kid yourself in thinking he designed the still unmatched Saturn F1 rocket engines and a lot of the Apollo subsystems.
That was done by scores of hard working American engineers, most in their twenties, solving one problem after another.

Remember Apollo 13?
Didn’t see many of them genius Indian H-1Bers there, did you?
