| Space reasearch is worth to explore even if it is a costilier affair. Because the output results can be very well utilised for the benefits of the nation as well as a globe. Further it also protects the country from various threats may it be natural calamities, threaths from neighbour countries etc. Therefore we must support such space missions and shall utilised the data base colleted in the interest of all human kind across the globe. |

Hello Friends,
In my opinion we are not wasting our money in space research. We are able to grow in the field of Telecommunication with the help of satellites. Not only that we are getting information about weather and other natural disasters with the help of space research. If we are neglecting this field due to the money spend then how can we get the information about unknown aspects of an other world. |

Friends I think judging space research as a profit or loss venture is not an appreciable thing. We belong to a diversified nation. It is not only space missions but it applies to general chemical pharmacies where profit is considered secondary to welfare of society. Coming back to our topic, if space research was a wastage we would have been in a belief of eclipse may be due to raahu and kethu. As someone are complaining here about corruption our ISRO is out of it, because every single compartment of a space shuttle is made by some organisation in disguise and are assembles by ISRO. Where all the technical strategies are kept secret. If you observe our recent achievements in space wing we met failure only for 2 out of 5 times. And all of them being in collaboration with other countries. I may say we human beings have traced places like Bermuda triangle because of space research. Think we are to hit by a meteoroid, we are helpless. But because of recent developments, we have laser cutting devices placed outside our atmosphere hence we are safe.
Finally, what I want to say is noting all the past, present and future space research, I would say considering this a wastage will be a disaster. |

Hello Friends, I would like to patronize the people who said that space missions are not a wastage of resources. I would like to provide a solid exposition for this statement. Space is not an encumbered subject to study, it has no defined boundaries, There are a lot more things to be explored. And space is just not mere squandering which leads to nothing. Space research has many pros which outweigh its cons.
1) We can expect to find water on Mars, which would open a new era of life for humans. Moreover because of the global warming we cannot rely on the conjecture that earth is going to survive for million more years, and if we do not have any other option we would seriously be in a predicament.
So space research and alternate options for life seems a pretty good rationale for spending on space research.
2) As of poverty, Unemployment and other problems, These can be tackled by getting rid of corruption as our leaders have blocked money more than what we spend on space research. So to ameliorate things we have to uproot corruption. Moreover the govt is ready to provide enough help to the poor, but the help is not able to reach the impoverished sections of the society only because of the corrupt.
3) Also, Space research gives as a social stature in the world of cut-throat competition. It will make the world see that we are capable of creating avant-garde inventions.
4) As many of you have already mentioned, Space research helps in weather forecasting, thus making us less prone to the damage of the most hazardous disasters. It will assist us in saving millions of lives and resources worth millions.
5) It is important for us to know about our universe. Example. Because now we know about the sun and its properties, we can avoid sunburns. Now we know about rotations and revolutions, we are able to set our standard times.
So when we interpret the above information we can clearly make out that space research is advantageous. It provides us with a great array of other resources. |

| I think space missions like chandrayan is total wastage of money, such missions can only give name & fame but can't reduce poverty. Instead of doing such a research work that requires lot of money, govt should invest money in improving satellites that gives weather report, because we all know how poor our weather forecasting department is. |

Hi friends.
Today world has become totaly unpredictable number of nutral clamity occuring now has suddenly increases in such scenerio it becums important for us that we shuld try to know about there occuerence before they occurs. And since by spending on such research we get weather report, clamity alarms. This why developed countries are also spending huge amount of there money on such rescearch. |

Space mission is not always wastage of money. Unless it is for education, entertainment.
Now using technology we can easily get the weather report, and also about like tsunami or any volcano. But if we use our money just for knowing that how the surface of moon. Then it is totally wastage of money as well as time. Usa or others country are doing so our nation is also doing this. But this type of space mission is not good for our nation where max people belongs to middle class or below poverty line.
As we know usa or other western country are rich so they can easily think about space mission and complete it. For a space mission almost 450 million usa dollar is spent this is a very large amount of money for country like India. We should know about latest technology but we should not waste our money like this. As we know oue country already spend a large amount of money on defence and if also spend large amount on space mission it will harm our economical condition. |

It provide advance information in telecommunication (3G), whether forecasting ,space research & many more. Government is spending huge amount on space mission .Our organizations like DRDO ,ISRO etc are working hard achieve the goals. |

Indian space research organization (ISRO) is one of the big six advance space agencies in the world.
Vast development of the Tele-communication systems, wheatear forecasting systems, Television & Media Networks, Tele-Medicine, Tele-Education, Internet, GPS are few fruitful products of space research in the country. It also enhancing & supporting our defense forces.
The development in these areas will have a greater impact in overall development of the nation directly or in-directly also which lead us to improve our standards of living. So money spent on space research is not waste besides it is essential to allocate little more on it.

Space missions are very important for many sectoral growths as defence, education, research communication. I don't feel it's wastage of money if it spend in this areas.
But funding the money for Mars and moon missions just to study surface properties and structure of that planet I don't feel its of any help. It's just like following the crowd. As NASA doing it we will also do it. I feel its wastage of money if used for such project. |

For a country to be developed wholly, it has to grow at rapid pace in all fields and we can't hold the progress in one field (space mission) and wait that we first solve basic problem of education, health, illiteracy, poverty and then spent our resources on space mission.
It's not that because of huge money allocation in space missions we are lagging on other front, but a sufficient money has been allocated in those fields also and if properly utilized it would alleviate the social, economic problems India is confronting with. But because of our corruption-ridden system the money remains unutilised and we progress at slower rate.
In fact any advancement in science and technology helps to solve the basic problems of humankind. Advancement in space missions is no exception. For eg-:
A) space missions help solve communications infrastructure problems. It is because of this only we are advancing in mobile communication which has well connected our villages with towns. Now mobile has reached even the remotest of the villages. Farmers because of that know the prices in offing at towns, without being depending on the middleman's.
B) We can forecast weather and natural disturbances on time and can stave-off any chances to be affected by any impending natural calamity. So, money spent on space missions are helping to reduce the loss due to natural disaster also. There are many more examples.
So, if we look at the main problem which is bothering, then it is the failure of missions which costs us heavily. So, we can increase the collaboration with other countries space agencies and perfect our technical knowhow to avoid such fallout. |

It is important to find out what is the motive behind the mission.
-if we are doing it for development of country like may be a communication satellite or a weather information satellite then it is good for development.
However if we are doing some research outcome of which may not have impact on our growth then it could be a wastage of resource. In such cases we can collaborate with developed countries for joint research that way reducing cost and achieving the goal. |

I think space mission are wastage of resources, because there are many crisis that decaying our development. The main 2 are.
1. Education.
2. Unemployment.
If we use the money in which we are spending in space missions we can somewhat able to satisfy the two main crisis. We known the small country cuba in olden days they had not concentrated in any space mission. They only concentrated on these 2. Now they have become a developed country. |

Space missions are a very critical part in scientific advancement of the nation. We are in the race to be super powers and such activities only pave our ways to the right future, as far as usage of resources in concerned then if that is the argument then probably India should not invest anywhere because every thing uses resources.
But the fact is that India is no more a poor country, we are progressing extremely well and we should support such space missions as they encourage scientific growth of the country. |

| Now a days scientific research is very important, one of them is research on space. By using space missions only we can find out what it going on in the space and we are able to relate those things in our daily life by which we can escape from lot of misfortunes. Like floods etc. are detected by space missions only by which we can take necessary preventions. It doesn't mean that for this we have to consume all our resources. In the limited resources only we have to make use of space missions without any wastage. Because these resources are not belongs to us. We borrowed it from our future generations and it is our responsibility to return it back to them without any damage. |

Hi friends, In my opinion Science have big role in India's development without science can you live? It is not possible without science and space research Thomas Alva Edison may not invent the bulb, and India will not have the Telecommunication, Telecast, GPS, Defense forces, Internet etc.
I support India's space and science research it should keep on going we need to show to whole world We are the Indian's! Jai Hind. |

| India's Development in space research are ofcourse appreciable. But overall gain of such works counts less when compared to the loss of resouces and environmental pollutions. Improvements in technology and science, prevent us from preserving the resources for future use. Today, everybody can feel the scarcity in earthy minerals. Basic things like water, coal, pollution free air, etc are available in very less amount. So I feel that inspite wasting our resources, we first find recycling solutions for it. |

India is the second fastest growing economy in the world. What I feel is we should not restrict ourselves to a particular field in order to have all round development. I can surely say that using resources in Space Missions is not a waste unless it becomes a failure. Recently we have launched CARTOSAT 2B, a foreign satellite and student satellite designed by students of Tamilnadu on July 12, 2010. This is our fourth satellite in the CARTOSAT series. Because of this we can keep watching an object 24hrs a day continuously. This will be a very great plus point in Defense.
Today all round the world, countries are joining hands to remove terrorism. Even the terrorists are up to date in case of technologies. To fight with them we should be one step ahead. ISRO is encouraging the students to try a hand in satellite, which has ended in the student satellite. These things should continue to create an unique identity to India. |

| India is a developing country. Indian government allot billions of money to the necessary researches under going the space. According to the GDP growth it is not necessary comparing to rural development. I wont say this is useless. We can also say launching space missions also shows the development in science but not in economical background of India. First we should implement ideas to using man power and should get succeed. What I want to say is Economical development is important along with Science development. |

| As we all know that China and India are the next two nominees of super power nation so it should utilize its power and resources for the space and development purposes. So that it can develop at a faster rate. Missions like Chandrayan I and II should be continued not only for the development of our country but for the whole world as India has a potential (both brain and resource) to do it. |

It will prove to the world that India is certainly progressing and reaching heights, if its about resources well we must learn to utilize them and of course it comes at some expense.
