I just read that the Indian government told it's citizens to leave Pakistan if they're there. Isn't India a close partner to China? Would India see this in a negative light?
This is cool but I also want to take this opportunity to point out SUPARCO started as a prestigious NASA partner that eventually devolved into yet another army staffed office whose only purpose is to collect a paycheck and inhibit any actual growth.
ie they could easily just choose literally anyone to be the astronaut since Pakistan axed it's space program decades ago.

They are both in BRICS but their relationship is weird. India is more aligned with the West and their British colonisation.
