Just say that India is number 1 (or at least ahead of China in space tech) and call it day. Let them cheer.
19th September 1981 China was already able to send 3 satellites into orbits with one FB-1 rocket. Those three satellites are standard size satellites unlike some high school science project mini satellite. That is why US, Russia or EU are not interested in those kind of stunt when they can already send 12(US) or 10(Russia) warheads into different location with just one of their ICBMs? The technology is essentially the same, but MIRV is much more harder.
This is the lies you have been live with yourself? Water was discovered by Moon Mineralogy Mapper on board of Chandrayaan-1. MMM was built by Jet Propulsion Laboratory and operated by NASA, so India was just the taxi driver in all this.
On 1 March 2009, Chang'e 1 landed on Moon surface after it completed all its mission. Chang'e 3 is going to have a soft landing with moon rover next year, India has to wait another year for this kind mission.
China's worst accident had around 100 casualties by western estimate, so where is your claim of thousands come from. Both Russia and US had many casualties with their space programs, so that means they are behind India also? Tell me what is the success rate of all India rocket launches?
Even North Korea has plan for space shuttle, so what? When it is operational, then we will talk. Learn to walk before you want to run okay.
Also not only China has planned Shenlong Space Plane which its miniature model has already been tested in air.
Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is already developing High Temperature Superconductor Maglev Launch Assist space shuttle. That is space shuttle without launching rocket.
Maglev launch assist technology may enable commercial space travel
China is also has ongoing Hypersonic Vehicle projects equivalent to the X-43.
Those are all according to your beloved western sources.
So tell me what has ISRO has done with its shuttle program besides putting a toy shuttle inside of a miniature wind tunnel?
International Assessment and Strategy Center > Research > PLA and U.S. Arms Racing in the Western Pacific
China's mars probe Yinghuo-1 was launched by Russian rocket in 2011, but due to rocket failure, the mission was not successful. More missions are planned, but my question reminds that how can India send anything to Mars when its own rocket can not even lift anything more than 5 tons.
China might be able to hide its failure from its own people, but from rest of the world? So I don't know who is feeding you all those craps.
