President APJ Abdul Kalam: Our solar system Sun has got nine planets. In one planet like earth, we have developed life. Whereas in our galaxy alone there are millions and millions of stars. Each star may have number of planets, the probability of advanced society and less advanced society may be the possibility. The Saturn V is the biggest rocket designed under the direction of Werher Von Braun of Marshall Space Flight Center. India is also developing such type of rockets.

Sir, This may be a question for many indians, may be not understood. Why there is no plan for connecting all the rivers of India ? For how long at one end we starve and in another end we see flood ? Thanks for your time. You are my inspiration. Regards, Sundar
President APJ Abdul Kalam: The nation has formed a task team that will bring out a project report to link the major rivers of the nation, so that the flood and drought can be minimised. Now, regional linking of rivers has already commenced. You may be aware about Ken-Betwa linkage, which has been approved by Madhya Pradesh and UP Government. Many others will follow.
