Space reasearch is worth to explore even if it is a costilier affair. Because the output results can be very well utilised for the benefits of the nation as well as a globe. Further it also protects the country from various threats may it be natural calamities, threaths from neighbour countries etc. Therefore we must support such space missions and shall utilised the data base colleted in the interest of all human kind across the globe.

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.
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.

Space missions are never a wastage of resources. It is an integral part of the science and technological development of the country. Without any technological development, we can never be really independent until we gain the technological excellence comparable to the the developed countries. Until then the poverty of India cannot be abolished, whatever budget is allotted to it. The only way to eliminate the poverty is to drive out the illiteracy, which can only be achieved by scientific excellence of the country.
Besides, the space missions are also a very much necessity to our communication system and national defense. So, it is a sector of strategic importance of the country in the world. In this world full of terrorism, a global surveillance system of the country over the world is very necessary. And as for the failed space mission, any successful mission needs some failure in order to the lessons. So, the only way to stop the failures is to stop the missions at all, which is a extremely ridiculous to think.

Space mission is not a wastage of resources, but this improves our India's knowledge towards other country. It solves our communication problem. India is a developing country. Some development may be depends upon this science.

Hi friends this is Punam,
Space mission is not a wastage of resources it is a use of our knowledge which use in wrong way or right way. The world is going to progress and if we say wastage of our resources that is wrong. If there is no any invention then we will lag to our life. Due to space mission we know about different types of hazards or any accidents occurs instantly is known by space research.

Hi Friends, According to me Space missions is not wastage of resources. It will help us in our Technical growth. In today's world every developed country is growing very fast because they are technically very strong and developed. Eg. Before ISRO we are completely depended on Outer countries. But now our ISRO is growing just because of space knowledge we can easily tell about daily weather. With help of that we can judge before and taking appropriate action if any planet is coming towards Earth and going to create any disasters. In short without knowledge of space we can't grow properly and solve many natural problems.

Hi friends,
In my opinion space mission is not wastage of resource. If we are doing a job perfectly surely it will leads to a greater success through proper planning we can achieve the goal easily. Planning is more important, in space mission we are investing a lot so through proper planning we can develop our thoughts and views and thus our India became a developed country.

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.

India got independence way back in 1947, still our country is considered as developing country. This is because of faulty govt policies. Not only space missions, any kind of Research and Development needs money/resources which are usually do not give any profit in the form we need. Our govt should give more importance in creating jobs which will eradicate poverty. The govt should also consider giving less importance to foreign companies which are set up in India in the name giving jobs. In reality India is slowly depending on other country. I worked in a space mission center, I can tell that the so called scientists are not at all that knowledgeable as they are portrayed. They are well payed for not doing anything. They do get all kind of benefits and they do no job at all. And the central govt increase the DA at regular intervals. Most of us do not know the working of satellites, only we watch the launch. Most the satellites do not work as they should do. For layman, one can say, launch was successful means, the launcher worked perfectly, the products which are inside it need not necessarily work. Even if it worked, most of the projects are total waste. Example the chandrayaan. What we have got are photographs. These photographs we be got from NASA site by paying 5 rupees in internet cafe. Someone has mentioned in one of the posting here, that space machines help in forewarning of natural calamities and other planetary collisions, it is ridiculous to think. No scientist gave any clue about tsunami which hit Tamil Nadu. Many earth quakes happens bringing loss of property, no scientific organization have slightest clue about them. If a planet is going to hit, it will most probably destroy the whole earth. It won't hit only India. Even if you consider it will hit India, what are the chances of knowing it beforehand, as our scientists do not have any knowledge of other natural happenings like rain, storm etc. To conclude, all space machines should be slow down. The salary and remunerations enjoyed by these employees should be reduced (They do not deserve even 10 percent of their current salary as they lack knowledge of anything). It is even better if all this organization is shut down permanently.
