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

I think investing our resources and investment in space research is not wastage for Indian as we can see that Indian space agency ISRO is giving very tough competitions to other space agencies by developing satellite launching vehicles like PSLV and GSLV etc. We have developed remote sensing satellites like IRS 1-C and IRS-ID which are among the best in the world for proving high resolution data to the user communities anywhere in the world even countries like USA, Russia, China, Japan and France are too using these satellites.

I would like to mention Chandrayaan-1 which was developed and launched by ISRO has confirmed that water exists on the moon and successful mission of Mangalyaan has showed India's achievements towards space research to the world. If you know that Chandrayaan is the first moon satellite in the world which has successfully reached to the mars in first attempt.

The chairperson of ISRO Dr. K Kasturirangan has projected a significant lowering of space research costs in the country in the next few decades. While the cost of positioning 1Kg material in the space was around 20, 000$ it was presaged that the same cost will come down to 5,000$ and would be 500$ in around 2030 so my point is that if our ISRO scientists has ability to developed such portable vehicles to reduce the cost of launching vehicles then why should not we invest in Space exploration.

We should not we invest a minimum amount of 200 crores for our space programs while our programs are being successful. As our country is moving very fast towards a developed country and almost all developed countries are investing a lot on their space programs and even they have had achieved so many success in their programs so we have to keep investing in space exploration programs because we have to be ahead in all aspects to become a real developed country.

Hello people, Pragya here.

I feel it's stupid to think that space researches should be banned.

To start up in be brief, it is through these space researches that a nation reinforces its national pride, through this people killed in cyclone Phailin were in fifties in not in thousands, it is through these satellites that vegetation is mapped, bio diversity is searched weather is predicted in what not. Don't all this help the people in poor inclusive.

Secondly is giving money the only way of helping poor. Many a anti- poverty scheme have been launched in India but the " Faulty Corruption " is to be blamed, leading only 10% be reached. SO the fact is with aspiring youth and intellectual minds (since this MOM will reduce brain drain) and India being a $ 300 million contender in GLOBAL space, nation will advance.

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.

Space mission are not a waste of resources for India. Now a day India are in the category of developed country like USA, China, France, Russia are too using satellite developed by ISRO as remote sensing satellite like IRS-1C and IRS-1D. ISRO is giving very tough competition to other space agencies in world.

In recent CHANDRAYAAN-1 have launched by ISRO at first attempt to reach on moon through these life can exist on moon in near future. It is through these space resources that a nation reinforce its national pride, it is through these satellite that vegetation is mapped, biodiversity is searched, weather is predicted and most important is that communication is possible like mobile, internet.

According to me space missions are not a wastage of resources. Because it is necessary for our development our country's development. For complete development all directions should be equally developed and space technologies is one the most important field.

There should be a clear distinction between space missions and satellite launches. Satellites are including GPS and other systems are extremely useful for the development of the country carrying out space missions to Moon or the Mars are absolutely pointless and clearly waste of resources. We know that these barren spheres do not have anything that support life then why go there and waste precious Earth resources?

Space missions is not a wastage of resources because it is mind of scientist which is new new things to do for our India so that's why India is developing also and it is proved.

As the 21st century gets underway, the impact of space activities upon the welfare of humanity will only increase. Space mission are not a waste of resources for India.

Now a day India are in the category of developed country like USA, China, France, Russia are too using satellite developed by ISRO as remote sensing satellite like IRS-1C and IRS-1D. ISRO is giving very tough competition to other space agencies in world.

Guys how can we tell that space missions are not solving economic problems? The poverty rate of America was 33% before launching their space mission but after that it was reduced to 15%. Space projects provide employment opportunities which is very important for a country to develop economically.

It is good for our country because if we feel proud for our scientist and their work then they also take interest in their work. And if we are not feel good for our scientist works then they also can't do their works with interest.
