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

I think that India has not enough money to do these things because it not developed the country.

How can space research be a waste of resources. If we look at the present scenario improving in space research is also a matter of development of the country. Besides we-indians aren't wasting numerous resources on research like America or Russia-right! we had been paying 300 crores every year to russia to put our communication satellites in geostationary orbit but on jan 5th our isro has launched gslv-d5 into space which was a great achievement for us and in doing so we don't have to pay Russia anymore and we had joined the crya club-america, russia, japan, france, china.

It is a not waste of money, it will benefit the development of our country. If we can stop the scams of big businessmen and prevent money from being corrupt it can be a good use to poverty and also you can use that money to the building government schools and colleges.

Space missions are a good venture for developed nations but India is still a developing nation, whatever great achievements received by our citizens still the world considers India a third world country.

Poverty and Uneducation are still a basic problem in India.

The government should solve the problems that have the highest priorities.

In my opinion, Indian exploration to space has a great opportunity to be invested by many under developing countries. When we were in war with Pakistan in 1999. USA stopped the GPS system. But now India have its own navigation system which means we are not dependent on such kind of purpose now.

Space research is the potential to develop the nation-said by father of space science Dr. Vikram sarabai.

Its not a wastage of resourse, we are demonstreting ourself that we are technically capable in doing space research and exploring the universe, And we are cost effective too. NASA Mars exploration mission namely MAVEN cost about 671 million dollars, but INDIA'S Mars mission namely MANGALYAAN cost about only 74 million dollors!. And also we are the only asian country succeeded in mars exploration in the very first attempt.

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.

According to me, space missions are not a wastage of resources for a country like us. We cannot ignore the role that is played by the satellites in our day to day life. Because of these satellites, we can predict the occurrence of various tsunamis, cyclones, floods etc. That can cause a huge loss to human race. Only because of these satellites we can predict the disasters and can take evacuation steps earlier so that the loss can be avoided. Our involvement in launching the satellites also necessary for making INDIA a developed country.

Hence, space missions are not wastage of resources if we use the resources in all the fields equally i.e.for eradication of poverty, unemployment, etc.

THANK YOU.

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.

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.
