Chinas success in docking Shenzhou 9 craft and its three astronauts in space with an intention to build a station within the decade has sent uneasy ripples through the Indian fraternity.
The success is credited to an aggressive policy to synergise the space and military programmes.
Back home, many scientists feel the drive behind missions to put humans in space has lost its momentum and a rework on policies and programmes is needed.
Former Isro chairman Professor UR Rao told The Pioneer that India should build much larger launch vehicles. Of China, he said, Its a wonderful thing. This is their second docking. They are going ahead systematically with the manned programme while we have not started at all.
They (China) have 9-tonne payload vehicles, synergy between their defence programmes, rockets which can hit the target at 13,000 km, Rao pointed out.
Another space scientist, on conditions of anonymity, told The Pioneer that Isro had a man mission blueprint to take over China in space programmes. Isro is also pursuing a man mission to space, but two failures of GSLV have hit the programme. It will take another eight years to realise our dream of a space mission, he added.
The scientist noted, They are marching forward with a lot of aggression. Soon they will become the second country to have human space flight capabilities. We missed a great opportunity. By this time, we could have been halfway through in the space programme. But three years have been lost.
India losing space race to China

Can you win a space race through bovine defecation? Just get bollywood to shoot a new movie about INS Ganges the galaxy starship with indians hanging off it hitching a free ride into space.
China doesn't have the space race with anyone, and when did it have a space race with India?
The Indian media is obsessed with China ,they believe they are in a competition with us but we ignore India.

several years ago...china was in same state with usa
I do not know what is the intension of the OP, but it seems to be "Needless Trolling"
INDIA is not in a race with China, we are just in a quest to know more on the fields of our Interest.
Chinas space programs are a half a decade advanced than we are right now, but we care less on that gap, all we care is our growth and not that of CHINAs growth.
Typical indian instead of condeming your media you are attacking me, dont you see the problem here is not the indian space program is it your nation obsession with china
WTF ? These Journos and their china fixation ! India was never in a space race with china. China is at least 10 years ahead of India. That said, India is a important player in international space club.
China, India challenge US monopoly on satellites | Russia & India Report
A true space race was between US and erstwhile USSR in cold war heydays which ultimately the US won.
Our space program is totally for the scientific exploration, and we don't know why some foreign public intellectuals always tend to distort the truth.
I am made of natural elements of planet earth. Some people on planet earth also made of melamine ! You are smart enough to know who they are. Or are you ??
More appropriate statement would be 'You have nothing above'.
You got it ? No ? Man, this is a 'no brainer' !
