Chandrayaan 2 "Packs More Power Than NASA's Apollo Missions": Minister

[master_13]

Cheena dost, it didn’t move for 30.5 of those 31 months. Stop letting sino-pride get in the way and acknowledge it was a failure.

lol, and stop letting your indian jealousy getting in a way of admitting it still functioned for the rest of the 31 months.

Jealous of what, a broken down rover? Please don’t make me laugh. Btw I put you on my ignore list enjoy

Chinese performance beyond earth orbits have been very poor considering their money and tech claims.
With Chandrayaan2 success, India will take a clear podium position in deeper space.

Hope it happens for the sake of science. It's the polar region.
Something will happen just like Chandrayaan's instrument found water evidence.

At least yutu finish all the task it supposed to do

This is really new to me，I never knew you indians set the standard so high and perfect，maybe it's indeed a failure by indian standard，hope you indians can set a perfect model for the world，I am not being sarcastic .

Best wishes to you.

lol, yeah, get out of here and take your jealousy with you.

Indian performance beyond earth orbit, LOL. Indian can't fly anything without the help of American NASA Deep Space Navigation, using someone else's technology to fly to mars is not something to be proud of. There are only 3 countries that operate deep space navigation network, US, Russia and China, India is not even close. Putting a dummy doll in someone else's car doesn't mean you can make cars, get it? Heck, you can't even send man to space, you are decades behind china in space technology, just suck it up and accept it.

My salty cheena friend the rover got stuck during the 2nd lunar day and remained stuck for the whole duration of its mission. It was a FAILURE, full stop.

By your logic, Hindia's first moon mission Chandrayaan 1 is a FAILURE, as it lost radio contact less than half way through its intended length of the mission.

 

[Tauren Paladin]

China's rover mission was a success. It managed to soft land on the moon and was operational for 32 months. If it wasn't successful the article wouldn't have mentioned that China was the 3rd nation to soft land on the moon. Sakra's article didn't mention that it was a failure. Next time show me an article that that says it failed to soft land on the moon.

 

[Tauren Paladin]

I can find articles and paste it here too derp
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/sci...the-Moon-as-space-programme-gathers-pace.html

"China, India and the US have fired or crash-landed probes on the Moon’s surface in recent years but this was the first soft - or controlled - landing since 1976, when the former Soviet Union’s Luna-24 landed there."

 

[KapitaanAli]

What's so hard to understand!
Soft landing is indeed an achievement, but then you don't need to send a rover that's much more complicated to build.

The rover failed in its basic objective: to rove.
But congrats on the data collected from that fixed point.

It‘s really so hard for me to understand，since I checked the rover indeed roved from 14 December 2013 to 25 janurary 2014 ，otherwise I will also call it a failure

It's rather silly that a country ridden with poverty like Hindustan would do these things, when it should be trying to fix it's country's problems.

You know whats even more sillier ? Not having a Space program didn't fix Pakistan's poverty problem either.

 

[Hamza913]

Yeah but Hindustan could fix its problems faster if it didn't waste cash on crap like this.

Same for us. Whilst we don't send scraps of metal to Mars, we still waste money, or it doesn't go its intended use due to corruption.

Do you realize you answered your own question?

Here:

Not having a space program didn't help you fight poverty and many other countries around the world - faster or otherwise. So why villainize a flourishing space program when you know from your own experience that spending on space program is not the reason for poverty?

Besides, fighting poverty doesn't mean throwing all the money that you have at it, at the cost of everything else. Poverty alleviation requires multi-pronged approaches - infrastructure building, population control, investing in education-healthcare-science-technology, women-empowerment and building an efficient public distribution system. All of which, India is already doing and in plenty.

Even today, while Indian space program has meagre annual budgets (couple of billions), it spends obscenely disproportionate amounts to fight poverty & subsidies, but India's problem is not the lack of resources but competent, efficient and corruption-free institutions.

@Topic I think we can do without comparisons to Apollo missions. Not only is C-2 late by 50 years, ISRO still doesn't have capacity send man to space, let alone to the Moon.

It would be disappointing if it wasn’t so

Are you sure?
India operates IDSN stations in India. Mars mission used IDSN and additional Indian navigation ships and also used NASA's stations for non-visible parts because they're already in different countries.
Matter of convenience.
