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

Hello friends,

My point of view is India can invest more number of money in space mission than now. Because one of the main field to increase international market standard in India is space technologies. Growth and development in space technologies surely hire our market status and technical growth with other countries.

Our recent technologies in space mission explore developed countries and our recent projects are huge success. By this other countries are seeking our technology with a huge value. So many R&D projects will be taken on space technologies in order to increase our economical standards and it will help to attain India 20 20 said by Dr. Abdul kalam.

Indian space research organization (ISRO) is one of the big six advance space agencies in the world.
Vast development of the Tele-communication systems, wheatear forecasting systems, Television & Media Networks, Tele-Medicine, Tele-Education, Internet, GPS are few fruitful products of space research in the country. It also enhancing & supporting our defense forces.
The development in these areas will have a greater impact in overall development of the nation directly or in-directly also which lead us to improve our standards of living. So money spent on space research is not waste besides it is essential to allocate little more on it.

All the people here have said that how India is a developing and desperate country and we do not have money to spend on such missions, which are the actual "steps" that develop the country, then we will always be "developing" but never "developed". No country has ever been rich and strong by birth.

The even US had 13 failures before its first successful mission, but blaming the situation is never the solution.

And when it comes to money, if I start listing the "good uses" of money done by our government then we will get to know that how an ample amount of money has been used by ISRO and how much it has co-operated to maintain their budget.

According to my view it's not about wastage. And all the matter should not come under wastage of money. Our India is improving day by day in all field. Our children is getting enthusiasm because of these. Space missions are very important for many growths as military, education, research, tele-communication. Wastage of money should not come in these cases. Rather we are wasting money in doing imitation, forgetting our culture, social matters.

Proper rationing system in all things can brings us hope. Black money, corruption, lavis-imbalanced lifestyle, many unnecessary things can make our country more bright and full of resources. Thank You.

In my opinion, what I say is, India is a country in which people are highly brainy in a sense other country people get fear of working with an Indian. So, when we have the potential, human who are willing to give their knowledge, it is the duty of the government to give importance to developing projects on space technology. I don't agree with some people who say stuffs like India is only a developing country and all. Only when something high and powerful comes out of our country, we get recognized, we can develop. So its really an important thing that government should take this a consideration and encourage such missions.

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.

Hello friends.

In my opinion our country is well advanced in the field of space technology when compared to our counterparts (developing countries). We are lagging behind in the areas like poverty, literacy, job resources & many more. At present we don't require any missions like 'moon mission'. Because we need to think more on eradicating serious problems like poverty, overpopulation etc. , & added to this countries like us, russia are doing research in this field. So instead of putting huge amount of budget in this space missions. We need to concentrate on more serious problems that India is facing.

India is in the nascent stage of development.

More money shall be infused in infrastructure and other areas of concerns. When we lack basic facilities the government shall not ponder taxpayers money in useless exploration. It's like a guy doing a toiling job throughout his day and in spite of spending money to his children's education the guy spends it in buying a car which he cannot even maintain in the future, thinking of that his car will make him feel proud and the real thing is nobody gives the shit. So it's obvious that all the people around him will laugh at him instead of being proud of him.

Space programs is most appreciable, Indians contribution in the field of technology and space mission is remarkable. We simply can not have one sided development too, yet we have to work a lot in the direction of unemployment, poverty, rural development & FREE CORRUPTION India. These are huge challenges in front of our policy makers and leaders, we Indians almost 20% of the population is still struggling for basic needs and a square meal. RTE &RTI are passed and definitely positive effects we'll get shortly. Yet we need work more for LOKPAL BILL to fight for corruption free India.

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.
