India losing space race to China

Well, both countries have tremendous problems to solve and billions of people to feed. Instead of competing with each other by words, how about competing with each other to feed their own pepople???

Both countries have been either colonized or semi-colonized by the west. Both are still manipulated by the west to be against each other. How about both countries can be cleverer not to fall into the trap of the west?



China’s 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, “It’s 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
 
several years ago...china was in same state with usa

there is a difference the usa and china are connected however we never made headlines on being in any space race or superpower most come from the western media.
 
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. :coffee:

That is a standard way of asking for budget money!


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 ?? :P

melamine is done and dusted in China. I can only tell you people right now 70% of milk in india is adultered with urea, detergents, toxic chemicals.

Hate to say it again and again but indians are easily forgetful of their own massive problems which are very much alive in your communities!
 
Unlike between US and USSR, Space program in China has different objectives, while in India they are different. However, having said that a little bit of competition is good.
 
More appropriate statement would be 'You have nothing above'.

You got it ? No ? :azn: Man, this is a 'no brainer' ! :P

you need to have annual medical examination for your pair of aging eyes dude!
