OK! Let me Explain it to you! The NUKES Pakistan sort was an existential threat to Pakistanis, it was Security needs of common ppl....Pakistani people felt it was necessary for their survival.....and it sort Nukes even if grass is to be eaten, freedom, fiercely independent and staunch believers in its ideology and identity....Nukes was a matter of SURVIVAL....
But How is MARS photography mission a survival matter, how will nearly 800 million poor, Indians get anything out of it, how will this reduce poverty and uplift your poor developing India. How MARS gives you, welfare in common Indians lives. MARS probe is show off and just a global fame, GIMMICK...its temporary, complete waste of money....scare resources of India.
OK let me explain you..why it is beneficial for india..
1. In order to erase property and build a better infrastructure. you have to need revenue...and this mars mission and that too in only very minimal cost will make india a lucrative market for launching foreign satellites in very cheap rate and high accuracy thus more contracts and more revenue. FYI space market is about 300 billion dollar market and ever expanding.
2. it will established india as a country who have the capability and technological base and experience to execute this this type of complex mission with success where only a handful countries are able to do. in near future all big projects and research will be done in collaboration. for ex: International space station..........so due to india's experience india can contribute and gain knowledge from such research and projects. so it would be increased collaboration and business opportunities.
3. For erase poverty and other social issues...we have dedicated programmes and departments with good budget. it doesn't mean that we should not look into other areas..
4. for humankind ex: when phallin cyclone hit the east coast of india ..damage was minimal..because of ISRO's INSAT satellites which traced and predicted the disaster. when we started our space program..same questions were raised... but now our satellites are used for national welfare. our own GPS system.
5. will inspire millions of childrens.
6.india will learn a lot from this project which eventually help in future projects. if you want to write a sentence you have to learn first about grammar and in order to learn grammar you have to learn alphabets and words..so my dear friend..learning is a continuous process. you can't say that first i will clean toilet then i will learn..for cleaning there are other departments for that job.
7.military applications to India’s space program, and India’s longstanding National Satellite System, now in its third decade, has long been closely linked to its Integrated Missile Development program,
which built India’s intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Today, India can boast of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) named Agni V with a strike range of 5,000 kilometers. This is due in part to the cooperation between the civilian scientific community and the defense industry. and our BMD programme.
the above points are few areas where india can benefit. ...research and knowledge never go in vain.
learn today...reap fruits tomorrow..
invest today..earn tomorrow.
