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

If the ministers and political leaders are really invested the money for our country in such a way that each and every field can developed properly then our country do much better in every position. There is a chance to compete with other countries in space, science and technology, because I think we are very intelligent respected to other countries.

But unfortunately the top level ministers just do not invested the money properly, however they kept it in their "pocket". They just think about their sons and daughters and for these people our country is only a developing country in world.

Space mission is one of the greatest achievement a country can achieve. And if among all the countries there is a name "INDIA", it will be a great honor for us. However, there is a space center presents in India called "ISRO" at sriharikota. But still there are lot of improvements needed in space department in our country.

For this, the system need to change much more and the young generation must come forward for betterment of space mission in India.

Space missions are definitely an integral part of our growth and development. It would be utterly foolish to abandon them altogether. They are essential for national security and for the maintenance and development of communication channels. However, spending an indefinite amount of money in these could result in a major financial fiasco when we require money for other noble and important purposes as well. Care should be taken when while allotting money for these missions such that our progress in other fields is not hindered because of that.

Hello friends. In my opinion Space missions are obviously an integral part of growth of any country. For country like India, I strongly believe that space missions have really put India in the line of developed country. Those who say that a country like India which is starving in resource should not waste money in these fields.

I would like to tell that in the most of the space missions of other countries like USA, Russia Japan there is involvement of Indian scientist as well. They have very crucial role to play in the space agencies of other countries. So if our scientist have the capability then why can't India have its own space missions. As far as the question of resources are concerned I believe that India is not in dearth of any resources. I also believe strongly that India will be second to none in future in the field of space technology.

Space mission is not a wasteful of resource, infact it contribute towards the development of economy. Without science and technology how can we compete with countries like usa, japan. I agree that we should not waste money on missions like study on mars and moon but other missions like telecast, telecommunication, internet, 3G are very important. India can become developed economy By contributing in all field whether it is education, science, technology, employment etc.

The space mission are not a waste of money and resources. It is the need of India to stand in globally to compete and to show them that this is not the consumer nation only.

The space research organization like ISRO that successfully launch Mission like Chandrayaan I and the success is admired and used by NASA. Also the ISRO launches satellite of other nations successfully which is another source of money.

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.

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.

I think we need to think about India, its size of economy, IISRO' s annual budget and the space launch market together. There is no point criticizing something without taking the whole picture. Indian economy is approximately 1.9 billion trillion dollars. , Indians food security bill passed this session of parliament is of 19 billion dollars per annum. The recently announced statue of unity being built in Gujarat is worth 200 million dollars. The international space launch market annually is around 10 billion dollars. Mars mission costs 70 million dollars. Plus it gives our educated youth a sense of pride and self confidence on being an Indian, and demonstrates to our potential launch customers our advanced space launch and navigation capabilities. Even economically its worth every penny, and other than that there is no argument against it.

Lastly, just one more example to clear it up. During late nineties when our country invested in information technology, I remember people full of pessimism commenting we need toilets more than computers, we need to concentrate on poverty rather than computers! IT accounts for 160 billion dollars of annual trade for India. It gives jobs to millions and food to the poor. Lets support our countries scientists wholeheartedly. There are better times to come.

India is not a resource starved country. Even if you think so, it is not at all waste of sending satellites because as chairmen of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said, "Three satellites are helped very much at the time of 'pilin' cyclone to identify the position of it and make arrangements to face it like asking the people to leave the places where the cyclone is going to effect most". If there are no satellites this couldn't be happen and we would have loose many people. For a nation it is more important of human welfare rather than money. Satellites are also playing a major role in ease of communication, investigation of fuel, detection of tsunami so and so fore.

There is also a huge responsibility of young and dynamic engineers and scientists of all over the nation to try for reducing the cost of satellites by implementing the new and advanced technologies.

This is a topic which requires no doubts pertaining to its implementation in any way what so ever.

As people in this discussion have earlier mentioned how it is a very small part of our annual budget and how it benefits us.

Without Space expeditions we would be totally handicapped and our basic means of living and development would be hindered.

Today we require a new handset and allied technologies every year and we are doubting space missions which are a backbone to all this?

Certainly this ain't justified and we should get our facts straight before making judgments!
