India's MIssion To moon
Hey guys!! Today is a historic day in Indian context but to a certain extent its a world event too!! India has launched its mission to moon. Watch as the Powerful PSLV C11 rockets inject the chandrayaan satellite into orbit
Watch the chandrayaan launch (http://indianbee.blogspot.com/2008/10/chandrayaan-indias-mission-to-moon.html)
I saw many posts across the internet saying that its a waste of India's money when 260 million people live below poverty line.
My answer to those.
1.A nation cannot spend just spend money to feed its nation..just think of a nation as your family do you spend only for your food?? or basic necessities??
2.Space is not a waste of money as many would imagine but instead its a investment, because sooner than later the resources on our planet will run-out!
3. India is taking micro satellites of six countries along with its own space craft so it covers 30% of the cost
4. ISRO gets more credibility so in turn its gets more business in commercial launch of satellites which is a multi billion dollar industry (India launches its own satellites saving the nation billions).Please Don't tell me cant you live without television and mobile
