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.

Space missions are simply the missions for the exploration of celestial structures in outer space. The most common purpose of which they are undertaken is for proxy wars. But India is now earning from the space missions and also the advance expertise and the low-cost program achievements have proved that it can become a contributor to the GDP. India is developing rapidly so it is important to tap all of the possible sectors to become world's major economic power.

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.

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.

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.

In my view Space Missions are not a wastage of resources with the of those we are giving competition to other countries, and we are trying to convert India is a developed country. Now-a-days each and every project or object or goods or like many other works depends upon science.

With out of this space missions we will be always as a developing country. The resources put on space missions never be wastage it shows the power and skills of our people. Space missions are the indicators of our scientists knowledge and power in science and technology.

I think space missions like chandrayan is total wastage of money, such missions can only give name & fame but can't reduce poverty. Instead of doing such a research work that requires lot of money, govt should invest money in improving satellites that gives weather report, because we all know how poor our weather forecasting department is.

It is good for our country because if we feel proud of our scientists and appreciate their work then they will do their work with more interest and this will also create more job opportunity for Indian.

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.

India is the second fastest growing economy in the world. What I feel is we should not restrict ourselves to a particular field in order to have all round development. I can surely say that using resources in Space Missions is not a waste unless it becomes a failure. Recently we have launched CARTOSAT 2B, a foreign satellite and student satellite designed by students of Tamilnadu on July 12, 2010. This is our fourth satellite in the CARTOSAT series. Because of this we can keep watching an object 24hrs a day continuously. This will be a very great plus point in Defense.

Today all round the world, countries are joining hands to remove terrorism. Even the terrorists are up to date in case of technologies. To fight with them we should be one step ahead. ISRO is encouraging the students to try a hand in satellite, which has ended in the student satellite. These things should continue to create an unique identity to India.
