know of the Afghan Muslim cosmonaut Abdul Ahad Mohmand and the Syrian Muslim cosmonaut Muhammed Faris who both went to space to stay aboard USSR's space stations. It is sad that now Faris has sided with the terrorists in the Syria war.

I am afraid your knowledge is very limited about Muslim astronauts and you picked one out of many that led perfectly competent and professional lives. There have been other astronauts who have had questionable legacies and even the first astronaut Yuri Gagarin was on rehabilitation for alcoholism.
But for you it is another stick to beat "Muslims " with.
The Soviet Union sent Muslim astronauts from every one of its constituent "Muslim" Central Asian republics, and a Saudi Arabian astronaut has been to space as well. There is also a female Muslim American astronaut of Iranian origin. Some of these Muslim astronauts ( especially the Soviet ones) , could teach your Squadron Leader Rakesh Sharma a few tricks too, basically in being better pilots.

SUPARCO is mainly concerned with manning ground data receiving stations from different satellites operated by our ally . So that's where the "space" comes in. It is doing an excellent job tracking satellites, and monitoring weather phenomenon.

I am sorry to disappoint you but I
am ending this Hindu Muslim dialogue right now.

Perhaps you don't know that I am a Muslim and a Communist.

I know about them.

The Saudi was part of the ruling family and went up on the Space Shuttle and the Iranian woman, Anousheh Ansari, later set up the Ansari X Prize.

There are others, though I don't keep track because I see outer space as universal where mankind puts aside its differences ( Like Star Trek ).

This is not the place to discuss this topic.
Link me to a thread where I will take you up on this. I have been reading your posts and I find your knowledge of Communism and Socialism completely confused.
Am an amateur Marxist myself and follow the "Third Internationale "

The basic concept of Socialism;
"From each according to his ability to each according to his work "
So Socialism distributes wealth to the workers who generate it in proportion to the individual contribution. The capitalist middle man, or an inheritor of the means of production is not entitled to the wealth generated because he is not contributing to it. Simply because a land lord has inherited the land it does not give him the right to oppress and exploit those landless peasants who work on it.
However the distribution of wealth is according to the input.
A healthy worker can produce more goods than an older or weaker one and hence deserves more of the share.

Under Communism;

"From each according to his ability to each according to his needs"
Here the "needs " is important. A disabled person unable to contribute to general prosperity stil has basic needs, an ill educated peasant would still need a good school for his children.

I agree. Hence my regular mentions for unified Mars settlements by the mid-2030s.

I also believe that space is the place where we find the real face of Nature. Whatever be the personal religious belief of a person, how much ever he chants prayers, Nature will kill that person within seconds if he doesn't wear the suit properly.
