Our former President A.P.J Abual Kalam gave us mission 2020,which stand to see India a developed nation by 2020.On this path of development satellite and space technology plays a major role. 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.

Space missions are not a wastage of resources.As we all know about space mission CHANDRA YAAN-1,we get a lot of information about moon.Even the NASA admits that this mission really disclosed the secret about water on the moon.Similarly missions like this or missions related to communication, satellite will really help us.Missions like that will help us to compete with the developed countries like USA.

As think of my serlf spaceship technology is very use full technology, why because in prasent day world is almost depend on satellite. Its not a wastage of money. By using this we improve our technical skills.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Space missions are don't wastage of resources because increase the level technology for e.g. 3G technique and weather forecasting for protect different natural calamities, for use in agriculture crop protection.

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,
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.
