Space Missions are a Wastage of Resources for a Resource-Starved Nation like India

Its very good that India is taking a great deal of initiative in space research programme but in my opinion the economy should not be compromised with the space research at least when 15% are facing to have a square meal a day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Space Missions are not a wastage of resources,but the money spent on the missions should not be from the pocket of the common man, it should be taken from the acount holders of swiss bank so that it can be used for the constructive purpose and if it is done our nation should march ahead with out any doubt and it should be taken up to prove our strength and make others silent.

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.

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.

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.
