I am in the motion of the topic. India is a developing country and to make it a developed country, we need to make full usage of the resources provided to us and after we have established ourselves as a developed country, then we can think about space missions. Half the people in India live below the poverty line and we need to support them.

Hi, here Ganesh.

I think space propagation Is the important part for nation why because our country now on the developing track. Unless few European countries are already developing in space research. We also take over them. So many things get from space mission. Like communication, and others land information so it for beneficial to our future generations. So keep development in space mission.

Literally space missions are the part and parcel of complete wastage of our resources. If our half of the population is forced to die due to starvation then what is the use of investing trillions of dollars upon it? Human exist on the earth only in this entire universe. Human being is blessed with divine powers they should be loved cared, and helped at any cost. I want to see happiness in the eyes of each and every human being on this planet. For ex, Swami Vivekananda and Lord Buddha served the humanity they didn't go to the moon and mars. They helped humanity. In the same way, if we live with peace n love among us there is no need of wars. And there will be no required wars among the nations.

Space missions definitely seem to be extravagant, wasteful endeavors. But they are acts of exploration. And Humanity cannot exist with exploring new frontiers. Remember the Neanderthals and our ancestors who lived side by side. The Neanderthals were conservative and did not wander into dangerous territory. If they're rare wandering hit a water body, they would stop, if they confronted a mountain, they would stop.

Humans were crazy and irrationally insane. If we hit a water body we would swim, a mountain would make us climb. We did over and over, but when one died another was ready to try again. Imagine how many people drowned to reach Easter Island for an example. We loved to stare death in the face over and over again. And yet now Homo Sapiens rule the earth. And the Neanderthals are extinct in their graves. Space is just another large ocean. So now tell me whether we should swim in it.

I would say that, space programme of launching satellite to earths orbit for purpose like remote sensation, weather forecasting, communication purpose, 4g, 3g etc are very important for our day -to-day life. But mission like chandrayan mission for moon, mars mission etc are useless. What would b their uses, even if we are able to get water on them?

Useless, its just a stage of I would say that, no doubt space programme such as launching satellite to earths orbit for various resources. Instead of focusing on such useless mission we should focus on how to improve our other satellite system. Why to search water/land on them? When we have already water able barren that desert?

Why don't we spend money on that land to make it fertile? You may say, Indira Gandhi canal is there, but why don't we construct one more to improve more, there are many points Mars and Moon mission are useless.

It is good for our country because if we feel proud for our scientist and their work then they also take interest in their work. And if we are not feel good for our scientist works then they also can't do their works with interest.

Guys how can we tell that space missions are not solving economic problems? The poverty rate of America was 33% before launching their space mission but after that it was reduced to 15%. Space projects provide employment opportunities which is very important for a country to develop economically.

As the 21st century gets underway, the impact of space activities upon the welfare of humanity will only increase. Space mission are not a waste of resources for India.

Now a day India are in the category of developed country like USA, China, France, Russia are too using satellite developed by ISRO as remote sensing satellite like IRS-1C and IRS-1D. ISRO is giving very tough competition to other space agencies in world.

Space missions is not a wastage of resources because it is mind of scientist which is new new things to do for our India so that's why India is developing also and it is proved.

There should be a clear distinction between space missions and satellite launches. Satellites are including GPS and other systems are extremely useful for the development of the country carrying out space missions to Moon or the Mars are absolutely pointless and clearly waste of resources. We know that these barren spheres do not have anything that support life then why go there and waste precious Earth resources?
