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

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.

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.

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,

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.

Space missions are not really a waste of money and natural resources but at the same time we also have to look at the poor suffering everyday in every corner of our country. Space missions are important as a growing nation but it is also important to look at the people suffering everyday. We also have to think of a Corruption free India, poverty free India altogether a better India.

Thank you.

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.

Space missions are not wasteful act of resources and mainly a country like India being a developing nation, we should proud of our nation that we are taking part in the field of science and technologies along with the nations calling themselves developed. Its a very big achievement. And if we talk about the resources, I don't say that we have much but we still have enough that we won't starve even if there would be any case like these. And space missions are not held by a single nation.

Its a joint venture in which two or more countries invests. Its only because of the space missions that we are able to know about the life on the other planets. If some of the resources are being used, this doesn't mean that resources are gonna gone for ever. There are some alternatives that are used to minimize the use of resources. So I think it is not a good statement that we are burning our resources on the space missions not on our people.

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.

India is a developing country, so space research is must for our nation but spending millions of rupees just for the sake of giving competition is not good as we need know that there are so many people in India who are just dying of poverty. .

I thnk space research should be definitely done but with without wasting money as in all this is for welfare of the people.

Space mission, to be precise, about the recent mission Chandrayaan, one can know about the planet and if there is possible to survive, may be near future some of us will be living in other planet. It would be a wonderful finding. Spending money cannot be a wastage.
