We could easily afford and have a space program, however our government is so incompetent that any space program they managed would be completely shit.
They'd spend probably $250 million on rockets and $3-5 billion ensuring all the equipment used gender neutral language and there was a diverse team of LGBT and First nations people with do nothing jobs working on the program and a further 5-10 billion on giving money to rent seeking shitholes like Papua New Guinea, Fiji and Vanatu for climate change caused by the rocket launches.
The end result would be an incredibly shit program that never got off the ground and in the end it would have been much more cost effective to just pay someone else to launch the shit into space.
India has one because it can't risk having it's access to the US controlled GPS system cut off, same reason China developed their own program. If you don't have your own space program you have to use the GPS system that is controlled by big shithead USA and risk having your access to it cutoff/sanctioned over any reason they pull out of their arse.
Its risk aversion. Not exactly stupid Australia has close to zero technical depth in rockets, Libya or Iraq would have more technical depth. And failure risk/loss is fairly high. The UK recently tried to have a space program, they imported absolutely everything from the US except for the spaceport, and it still failed costing a lot of government money. Australia should be starting on a ballistic missile development program, it needs it from weapons parity perspective. Many older Australians are still with the legacy assumption western, smart, forward industrialized and modern is them but this is not the case.
1. - We dont need one, we can just contract with other space agencies for placing a satellite in orbit
2. - We can't afford it just yet, and cannot manufacture all the required hardware on our own.
We can barely manufacture anything these days, since we have outsourced most of our industries (our biggest mistake)
Japan and India are richer than Australia anon
that was a good joke
New Zealand launch Private Sector rockets and they dont even have a real space program
Because they're on the bottom of the plane. They can't launch a rocket upside down. They'd miss the moon entirely

Once upon a time Australia hosted the British space program's launches. Britain no longer launches rockets.
Geographical location
If you are away from equator you can't launch shit
Provably this. Acceleration due to gravity is lower in higher latitudes
You can prove it using a simple pendulum
So launching stuff requires less energy and is cheaper near the poles
*Higher in higher latitudes
>Why Australia doesn't have a space program when Japan or even India have one?
There are more people in Tokyo that the whole of Australia
>There are more people in Tokyo that the whole of Australia
About half as many, but still funny.

Is Australia an American bitch?
most of the "western" world is
Just like your cunt since your coup.
The whole world is. Not much longer though.
Me rock jumpa copeng! Beltalowda, make money sasa ke!
Space is fake.

China has a space program, what the fuck are you talking about OP?

Excuse me
You don't even have a real country homosexual.
That's a far greater problem than "muh space"
Shouldn't you be in gaza on the ground fighting the enemy?
Australia is a mining outpost. The west already have nasa and esa for sending satellites and space exploration.
And farming.
they have really low economic complexity
they can't even build their own cars
the fuck are you talking about?

Australia Research And Space Exploration
acronym = A.R.S.E
I dont whether to laugh or be embarrassed.
Because our mining overlords and media magnates have no interest in space... yet
even New Zealand has a space program
Waste of money.
Because the UN has designated Australia to be an economic zone specialised in mining, not manufacturing or RnD.

for what purpose
daddy biden will just protect our satelites
Australia is quite dysfunctional. They would mess up the countdown
Wrong side of the planet. It'd have to be a countup.
