    "content": "I agree that we need to look at how we can organise ourselves. The one major thing we need to look at is where we are running short. They are beating us because of where we have placed this Centre. On the other side, this is about universities, science and technology, but we have placed it in the Ministry of Defence. It has to move and I know it cannot be done immediately. Our defence, as we know it, I do not think they have such tremendous academic and research orientation that they can match the people who will be doing the major research in space exploration and science. I do not think we even have the money in our Defence Department to handle this. So, I think this has to move to universities. The Defence Department must be part of this Centre because of translation of information and science to use for defence purposes, which is important, but only if you have the technology. I think we should move it and this is a major issue to look into. If you look at the history of the agreements, you will find that they are of very long durations of 10 or 15 years. I think this is another area that we should look into. We should shorten the period and this means that we can always bargain better and start learning."
