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

I think space missions are not a wastage of our Indian economy because by that only.

1. We are able to compete with developed countries like USA, Russia, etc.

2. We are solving problems of poverty as the space programme is giving employment to many youths.

3. By Chandrayaana only the world came to know that there is water in moon and also mars.

4. It is helping in communication system.

5. It is helping in our defense system ex:- surgical strike.

6. By satellites, we will come to know the upcoming natural disasters.

Someone said that scientists are busy in useless research but by their useless research only India is able to compete with other countries. I am not saying that you should invest so much of money in space programme they have limits for that and they are doing well.

Thank you.

Hi friends,

We all know about the last few successful projects of ISRO. As an Indian we all should be proud of having such an international level research center. Otherwise we have to depend upon other countries like America or Russia for a good communication system or forecasting weather and lot of our basic needs. May be the project works are very costly but so what if we have to pay the charges of using others technology. So if we highlight on this issue that how much money do we save and if other country use our technology then also we get paid for this. Is it good or bad. If we invest money on this sector our country also be enriched by its technology and in future may be ISRO will come to the same level of NASA and make us proud. But we should trust and wait for that.

Let's address our water, power and agricultural deficits before spending money on space missions. I can understand satellite launch capabilities need to be developed but moon missions. We live in a democracy, I don't see when we the people were asked for permission to spend so much money on these projects. Also, the people supporting thus waste of money need to give us actual, practical examples of how a moon mission will help India. Maybe a cost benefit analysis? Come on Modi government, give us the business justification besides shallow bragging rights. I live and work in one of the most impoverished regions if Andhra Pradesh and can give many better uses for the money spent to help our fellow citizens today.

Hi,

We cannot completely do away with the advantages these space missions offer, be it communication, defence, entertainment, weather forecasting, etc. Also India is not a resource starved country, there is proper allocation of funds to every sector in the Union Budget, and these space missions take up a very small part of these funds.

As you all know about the recent Mars Orbiter Mission by ISRO, it is perhaps the cheapest interplanetary mission as reported by media and the ISRO chief himself.

So kudos to these intelligent and most competent scientists of our country.

P. S : Holistic development of the country means to give importance to all the sectors, Developed Nations are not built in a day.

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.

Hello friends, good day to all of you, I had agreed some points related to the space mission is helped to find out the ocean layer is damaging & ultraviolet rays are affecting to the earth, warning of heavy rain, cyclones, etc. But, that time astronomers performing projects of find the water molecules in the moon, mars are unwanted works. Because, normally we are brought a one liter earth water at 15 to 20 rupees in bottles. These the water can't be brought by middle class families. So, that the time these the space water rate should be fixed at high amount. So, top richest persons are should be avoid these the space water. So, these research of water on space is waste less one.

Thank you.

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.

In recent CHANDRAYAAN-1 have launched by ISRO at first attempt to reach on moon through these life can exist on moon in near future. It is through these space resources that a nation reinforce its national pride, it is through these satellite that vegetation is mapped, biodiversity is searched, weather is predicted and most important is that communication is possible like mobile, internet.

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.

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.

Hello friends,

I think the space mission are not a wastage of resources, by the space mission we improved our technological skills which can provide a best future for us, by performing the space mission we can achieve treatment of many diseases, like cancer and many more. Other countries, like USA, UK these are developed country and have great advantage in the space mission. In the present scenario we are developing. So if we want to make our country developed then we need to lead our space mission otherwise we will always count in the list of developing countries. Space is is also helpful to our army to make more powerful weapons to protect our country from terrorist.
