Space Missions are not a wastage of resources, but is should be done with limited resources. Because space missions are a great source of knowledge about this world, and Indians should not be behind in such matters as without knowledge country can't progress & solve many natural problems.

How can you say Divya, do you think that India is developed country with enough sufficient renewable resources. It should be preserved for the next generations. Do you know that space missions requires some tons of litres of energy for its successful completion of its task.

Scientific research is very important thing and in case of space research, it is done for the search of resources however, it already proved its importance by its applications of its various theories in many inventions. How can one think of its country's development without investing in research which is advance way of getting education and knowledge.

India is developing country so just like other developing countries it must take part in space research. 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. But now india is sending foreign satellites so its earning from its launching. Thus contributing in country's growth.

But guys, I believe that we should also progress simultaneously like other countries in the world India is not a poor country these days we have been leading the charts in GDP growth, satellite missions and all thus its a mark of success.

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.

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.

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'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.
