Denied us Cryogenic rocket tech ( nay sabotaged our program) but eventually we got it.
Now we send other nations satellites into space at a fraction of cost NASA does.So there is the competition.
what are you talking about??
the 'indian space research organization' ( isro ) is american in creation and mostly western-supported in existence... can you name the microprocessor used on isro's rockets and satellites?? can you name the origin of the engines that pslv uses and the technology that glsv engine uses??
the first glsv flight-test had the rocket exploding soon after take-off and isro blamed some electrical wiring purchased from germany.
and launching satellites is no big deal... 'arca space'[1] is a small and private spaceship design company started by people from little romania and they have plans more ambitious than of isro.
taking humans into space is what defines a real space agency... i think the iranians will launch their first cosmonaut a lot sooner than india's isro.
what isro should be doing is scrapping all its pslv/gslv rockets and the useless spy satellites and concentrate on developing its space-plane project 'avatar' and involving the pakistanis and the russians.
