no... I want africa to be a better Africa. Africa will never be any of those places you are talking about? We took on the white man's education did we become Europe? no we became a better Africa! we took on the White man's Medicine did we become Europe? We have adapted his computing.... have we become Europe? We are all about being a better Africa. A better land for our children.

sending a spacecraft to mars will not benefit india economically in any way, its just an achievement, you can not classify that with building super highways and improving infrastructure. that money could have been used to improve the lives of poor indians

C/P from the bbc story

"Those who defend India's current direction in space exploration say the technological development required to mount this mission could indirectly benefit the country's other activities, including poverty reduction."


How?

They might discover some mineral on mars that can feed the hungry, they might initiate communication with aliens out in space to come and invest in india. smile

Again the myopia of seeing the space program as being a standalone product....google benefits of the nasa space program. the intellectual property generated by space programs (a group of scientists seated somewhere trying to find better ways to travel and beat nature)is immense from winglets on the tip of plane wings that save billions of dollars on fuel to things in medicine.

check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/...A_spin-off_technologies

plus the benefit that one day Jupiter may not be able to absorb an earth bound asteroid or comet (or my draw one which was not heading in this direction originally to be earth bound) you will need proven stuff to do what Bruce Willis did in 1998!

consider the distance between here and Mars i.e. 56 million km! light and thus radio waves take 3 minutes to get there directly and if you are bouncing it off satellites it will require more time and thus the robotics on that probe must be able to act autonomously! no remote control! when proven that it can work autonomously you can easily reuse these technologies elsewhere! Mariana's trench any one? harvesting heavy water. benefits are immense!

at least the Indians are bold enough t use their brains to do something on their own, hapa kenya hata barabara we have to bring in the chinans - the greeks and the romans were building roads as recently as 4 years just before the birth of Jesus christ (pbuh).

all in all this is claimed to be the cheapest mission to mars, they must have done something different - and that something might prove to be very beneficial to them.

ni kuogopa! uoga ndio tumejaza hapa! how many people here can go on a boat trip let alone a space trip (i know it was unmanned).
people even fear going to central or fear uchawi ya wakamba! fear the ocean! fear bandits in north eastern... fear graves, fear the dead, fear! fear! fear! fear!

on cost... there was a statement that was made once - Americans spent millions of dollars to invent a pen that would write in 0 gravity in space while russians used pencils!
