India to launch its first astronauts into space by 2015

[my2cents]

I am not against using space technology to monitor weather,communication,navigation etc.My objection for India is to sending man on Moon or Mars.This is very costly project and useful for nothing but to bravado.That money could be better used for the man,woman and children living inside the world not in space.

It promotes research and development because it presents new challenges to the scientists. You learn about zero gravity and its impact on humans. Developments of heat shields. Capsule development to withstand re-entry into earth atmosphere etc. There are many side benefits like promotion of ISRO and its capabilities.

Ultimate challenge would be to send a man to moon or mars and to bring them back to earth safe. This space exploration challenge is a step towards this goal.

Yes,that is also important.But you have to set priority for the most pressing needs of time.When your majority population lives in utter destitution,your priority should be to alleviate their misery than discovering about zero gravity and heat shields.

Hoping the Indian does not come back dead.

Look at how much we spend on public development, look at ISRO's budget. Do the math and arrive at a conclusion
instead of telling us to do the obvious (which we already are) and making a fool of yourself if you aren't one already.

Hoping the Indian does not come back dead.

Hope Bangladeshis can find good jobs in their home country and not pole vault into India.

India should first ensure every children go to school before a man go to space.Otherwise it will be a hollow false pride boosting bravado.

Don't lecture us. Do what ever you want in your country .

We know what our priorities are.

it is different, yes, China and Russia once had co-operation.
but for India and Russia, that's much more simple, a relation like customer and storekeeper.

But it can always be bought from Russians just like China did .



Funny coming from the chinese who sought help from Russia in making your space capsule as well as space suite .

Your moon mission was helped entirely by European Space Agency in deep space monitoring .

As for not getting images from Mangalyaan , may be those are censored by CPC .

Co-operation my @ss ....... you simply copied the Russian space capsule and space suite .

OTOH , Indian space capsule and space suite are very different than anything Russia has .

It's too early to tell. We need to wait for India to send a man to space first. And the earliest date for that is in the 2020s. A lot in design could still change

For India, even the blueprint is fully delivered, Indian cannot finish the copying.
If you think that a spaceship or any other aerocrafts can be copied only from their shapes, then you must not know anything about modern science.
Did you hear the term, wind tunnel ? the best and the advanced ones, only in China and U.S..
A country like Russia cannot let something it does not have to be copied.

this is one of the funniest logic I have heard ...... I am sure Yuri Gagarin also went into space using space capsule designed by chinese because Russians lack wind tunnels .....

I the mean time , anybody with eyes can identify who is the copycat

 

[areal]

it is not a shame as I also calculate 1+1=2 right after you. We don't and cannot reject scientific rules or conclusions in general.
it is a shame that even I has calculated 2+2=4, but you cannot get the right answer for the same equation after a long time.

For a change why don't you write something that actually makes some sense ....

 

[Assange]

Bangladeshis are much more pessimistic than Pakistanis...I guess the reason is Pakistan knows what India is capable of...but these lungis don't...

I don't think so,otherwise how can a stable democratic country of nearly 70 years old still be a third world hellhole more poverty,more malnutrition,more social problem then Sub Saharan Africa?

If you take back Ilegal Bangladeshi immigrants back that itself will boast India from a third world to second world...

You re talking about the jobs of two different departments ... I hope you can comprehend that

The article is from 09, OP is reviving the article just to diss. Usual stupid internet war stuff.

Good progress is being made.

Thanks for Info
