  • for all the people saying that india should notspend money on the space program.......you know what...........for every dollar spend on the mission ........the ISRO....gives back the government 2 dollars.......and this basically comes from the following 2 reasons

    1>launching satellites of other countries at cheap rates.

    2>launcing our own satellites(weather,communicati­on,remote sensing etc) indigeniously.

  • Sounds like tech support 

  • Americans have a phobia for anything unamerican. India will rise form the ashes the british left it in- The Phoenix of Modern world.

  • GO! India and too all of those that think it is stupid think about this were would there employees and contractors get there pay checks from if it wasn't from this program.

    Look at the stupid Americans there getting rid of there program.

  • @fryking22

    LOL yeah half of India still lives withouth electricity and have to shit in their back yard while their government crashes a rocket on the moon BFD

  • @TheJomogogo people of India r still poor not due 2 d spendings of d government towards d science missions, but due to corruption, d enormous amount of Indian money stacked in foreign banks....which r Indian tax payer's money....and which r supposed to be used for India's welfare. Once, a Swiss bank director said, "Indians r poor but India is not a poor country......." --based on d amount of money stacked in Swiss banks only. So stopping the progress of science is not d solution.......

  • (Edit : I meant 0.01% GDP in my post below not 0.001%, my bad)

    And btw, India has a 5 Year plan in the hopes of Eradicating Poverty by the year 2015, And then India would compete with China to be a World Economic Power Giant like Japan, US and China. Well, every Developing country has its challenges and I would say India has done pretty well given it's only been 60 years since it became Independent.

    Good Luck to India ! Hope India also sends the First human being to the Moon in the future.

  • Nice, India hopes to get back on the Moon and make a Full Fledged Lunar Probed Mission on the Moon in 2013. You guys in the US better catch up before India and China beat the US in their own game.

    And to all those that are crying out loud about Poverty in India, India spent less than 0.001% of it's GDP on the Moon Mission, It wasn't even considered on a Minuscule scale and who says India isn't spending on getting rid of Poverty ?

    Poverty Rate of India in 60s was like 50%, Now it's down to 20%.

  • abu nah nah neh nah 

  • god speed india. no one can stop you!!!

  • India is among poorest country in the world. India government should not waste money for project like this. They should instead look around them and will find hunger and poverty everywhere. Just search for "India poverty" images on the Web and see them for yourself!

  • @JolieTu1

    First give home to your homeless, then  think about us..

  • @JolieTu1 sort of

    but on scale it dosent make sense

    you know

    and indias second name is corruption

  • wow all are so jealous

  • India is one of poorest country in the world with burgeoning population. These brainless scientists should open their eyes to look around them to see slums and hungers of their fellow citizens, and try to improve food harvests as well as business to improve their lives rather than trying to go to Mars.

    The fact is they trying to reinvent the wheel by doing research on what we US and Russia already are so far ahead.

  • fuck you,,india haters

  • FEE FI FO FUM I smell the stench of a wakipakiman! JolieTu1 is a Pakistani masquerading as an american. Ah, Wakistanis are so pathetic.The only productive thing a Pakistani can do these days is blow up other pakistanis.Thats all you idiots are good for huh? Killing each other: waki-paki terrorist kills pakistani soldiers, pakistani soldiers massacre the terrorists family and tribe, then more waki-paki terrorists kill more pak-army soldiers,then soldiers kill more pathan pakis.And so on And so on

  • very good

    say all

    banday theri maan mai Lun

    gAY hIND

  • pause at 0:09 hahahahah vision from hell

  • Success , i just found out . Did it land well ?

  • also, to the other indians, you guys dont have to sink to their level..they are plain jealous and frustrated.. they cant contribute to their own country in any sort of way, and arn't proud of it..thats why they dont want us to be proud of ours..they are full of shit, and focus on all the wrong things.. yes there is poverty in our country, and the whole world..it is a necessary evil..as long as this world follows a monetary system, and due to the impact of globalization, there will be poverty.

  • i am so proud of india..the whole world should be too..finding traces of water on the moon is a big deal..something that the oh-so-awesome nasa couldn't do..the whole world benefits from this..not only india..so it would be nice if you guys keep ur sick, racist and bigotted thoughts to yourself..your country has not achieved as much as india has, and cant..so shut it..if you cant feel any joy for the fact that the world is progressing, and technologically advancing, you are sick and twisted.

  • who knew after 1947 that a country, plundered by the british, will project a moon mission !?!?!?!? awesome India !!

  • I knew. I have full trust in my proud nation.

  • hahahahahahahahaha

    indians do not operate any american planes

  • Comment removed

  • Is english the official language of india?

  • India has 15 official language. And English is one of them.

  • They all derived from Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the mother of all Languages. thats why we see so much similarities among them

  • well actually .. its not the mother of ALL languages... but many, as every indian languages... and other eurasian languages...

  • bombarderoazul your retarded, what makes you think that space exploration is not allowed by others but only the USA? I have to say that i congragulate the indians for joining in the space family, good job india, keep up the good work, greetings from china =) oh and by the way bombarderoazul USA is going bankrupt, USA has its people to take care and worry about.

  • yuh they india spend moneys for weapons and people living worst then animals

  • Google:

    "As Indian Growth Soars, Child Hunger Persists" by NYTimes, 42.5% children are malnurished and under weight, mean while you are spending huge amount of money on a useless moon probe, bravo.

  • 40% fucking idiot.

  • Welcome to space, people of India! A mighty achievement indeed for a proud and brave nation!

    One question though: If you can afford to blow billions of dollars mapping the lunar surface, why do I still have to endure long, painful TV commercials from the Leprosy Mission, asking me for $29 a month to cure little 7 year old Indira?

    "India has the highest incidence of leprosy in the world..."

    How about curing your lepers before you worry about space adventure?

    Indira will thank you.

  • hey fucktard, its te NGO s of ur west which loot ur money, in order to get their pockets full. show me one advertizement on ur national TV or ur country's national tv which has been certified by the Indian govt. regarding leprosy. Asshole

  • satellites helps to connect people in india. we can create awareness among them. the people can be educated via VC . this will eradicate poverty.

  • Really? they show Indian;s doesnt mean India's arent the only people that hae it fucking idiot. its a desease that strikes alot of people. I can say that on AMnesty international i believe i saw this husband who fucking i think burned his wife cause she was talking to another man. And he says he'd shoot her and showed of his gun like wtf is that supposed to mean u fucking cunt bag? Lol go be jelous somewhere else fucktard.

  • the states has a lot of problems as well, you can ask the same question towards the americans..people in india who are intelligent and have minds to explore and discover new things are going to follow their dreams; they are not going to worry about curing sick kids (thats for what the doctors do, who are by the way very advanced in india)..

    i can ask YOU a question, did you go help out in katrina?? i dont think so, beacuse you got your own shit to worry about.

  • what im really trying to say is that humans are going to contiue reaching out for their own goals.. its stupid to be lagged behind just so you get somone on their feet.. HOWEVER, i believe its required that u should reach out a hand every once in a while to give differnt oppotunities to people..

    Dont blame the problems that the indians have on their SPACE program. if anything, blame them on their doctors...

    feelling me bro?

  • moreover.. it is not billions .. it is 79-million-dollar project... it is the NASA which spends billions of dollars.. not ISRO...

  • most indian mig fighter accidents happeneds in india....they dont have good fighter aircrafts...everybody knows.,,and thy r going on mooon..lol...make house for jhomper peti ppl...

  • Go India, congratulations from this Canuck in the Frozen North, AKA Canada.

  • fuck u paki half dicked half headed ass licker of us and china, begger coutry

  • kutta k bacho land k ball moon pa tari maa ko chood do randi k bachi mara land be chand pa la ja

  • abe tu land hath me leke baith, teri quam ke aukaad nehi chand per jane ki, bheek maang US aur china se

  • india

    have millions living in poverty

    but there government spending millions

    on space,when they should be spending

    it on there ecommany it just terrible.

  • Mr Jimmy, ISRO is one of the few organisations giving satellite launch service it earning revenue for its self and also doing coutry proud, poverty cannot be elimenated in a day and by gods grace india is the 2nd largest economy in the worl

  • Idiot

  • Sounds like the attendant at the local 7/11!I think the moon has been discovered before by the Americans decades ago. What next, India will re invent the internet! LOL

  • U.S went to the moon alrighht but all they managed was to dig a hole about a meter deep, but chandrayaan is equiped with a radar will analyse the chemical composition from a 100 KM orbit and creat a 3d atlas with composition for future mission

  • apki ammai ka choot pakistani gadhey

  • hindu god is only real god ,all other gods r false.

    thts why indians r most smart ppl on earth,most richest.

    even usa now run by indian brains, most of the adviser of barak obama r indians.

    in science n technology nobody can beat india.

    it has best cutting edge technology of the world.

    mumbai ,delhi,kolkata,r most sophisticated cities of the world.

    its entertainment industry is the envy of the world.

    no country can even come close to india

    india is so far ahead

    jai hind

  • Allah is the arabic word for God.

    May God bless us all.

  • gets me every time von,toe,theire,for,fibe.

    o shit so hilarious.

    lol :)

  • That's true: ISRO and the Indian government put up a very poor PR show. They don't understand that the world is watching an important event as this one. Not that I have anything against the accent, but if it is going to invite derision and ridicule, why not do something about it? This is where good PR come into play; and they have none of it.

  • if you watch this video 100 times still funny.

    eegneeshun ceequence narmal aend lipt aff narmal...Lol.. vahicul has lipted aff vahicul has lipted aff....

  • hey man i absolutely loved your sense of humour :)

  • they gonna make moon smell like curry...hahahah

  • hahahah, Indians.. their accent is killing me. hahahaha

  • moeju2000,

    We could sense ur jealousy here....have a forward thinking and a sense of small appreciation....

  • Well, remember mate, ur going into oblivion and we are rising. How about first smelling some sand and soil as you wont have the money to maintain your own house now? And then smell Indian curry, which draws people from all across the world. And dont forget, its an Indian who has drafted the Bailout plan of 700 billion dollars, something that no American could ever manage, hehehehe.

  • chengShuTai I welcome you....Long live china Long live India....Thanx

  • Congrats to Indians today(Nov 13/2008) ur moon vehicle launched a probe into the moon's surface planting ur country's flag on the moon; something we in China have not done (yet).(Xinhua)Nov.12 - Ouyang Ziyuan, chief scientist for China's moon exploration program,on Wednesday called for moon probe program experts in China, India and Japan to step up cooperation to "deepen mankind's understanding of the moon." [He] said the three countries shared goals on moon probe while each had its advantages

  • india is birthplace all sciences.its india who discovered zero,medicine astronomy,astrology.phyics.bol lywood is the biggest movie industry in the world,.95% of NASA's scientist are indian.world internet run by the indians.world just can not run without the genious of india,.the mission to moon just another example of indian excellence.other country just dream abt it as the usa economy down ,india is the only world super power.india has most rich ppl on earth ,jai hind

  • Yes I am sure other countries dream about the starving men, women and children living in poverty. India has "most rich ppl on earth" but there is a large percentage of poor people suffering day and night. I myself am Indian and do not believe in this patriotical bullshit when India has the money to launch rockets in space but not enough funding goes too feed the homeless.

  • Hey KKSAR...I think your arguement is not worthy enough to be posted here...dont compare science and economy.....does not mean that all money should be spent on helping homeless people...this is another problem that will take its time to get settled.....on the other side scientific development is always required for any country....

  • Yes, I guess scientific developement for a space program is MUCH more important than feeding a couple of thousand hungry people. I'm not comparing science and economy i'm critising the funding that goes into both. This "problem" has being going on for longer than the space program idea. I'm sorry if your morals are mixed up if you value our "technological advancement" over your fellow citizens dying of starvation.

  • To KKSAR

    To feed the poor you need money, to earn money you need to sell goods, To sell goods you need competitive edge(better Tech and lower cost). And better Tech is developed thru advanced scientific projects like these. Diskless Hard-drive was first developed for Space then used for Military and now entering commercial laptops.

    Feed the poor unconditionally and they will not even want to come out of poverty.

  • you have a very narrow perspective, KKSAR, and while its scientists like this who make us proud, it is people like you who shame us on the other hand, because you can be of no use to the country but only insult those few who do great things for this country.

  • I agree

  • India and China provided world most of the basic technologies and science. Yes, Russia helped both China and India setting up its defence industry and space program. But, we deserve it. May be within 25/30 years China will catch up Europe/USA. Another 15/20 years. India will also catch up USA/Europe in terms of technology science. Those who are pointing out about poverty, it is everywhere. That should not discourage a large country from persuing its space program.

  • if you are so confident then just try and invade pakistan..and see what happens. facts are facts..india does not have helicopters and food for the flood victims of bihar but money for a space rocket. there are no samosas on the moon!!

  • There is no need , you will crumble under your poverty and remaining job will be finished by US. We blocked the river water , what could you do ? grow up bum.

  • Thirld world is behind because they lack in technology , we need to invest in future technology else we will always be chasing . There is no other way.

  • Third world is  not back in technology it's, it's just that it just can't finance it's brains to innovate. You can see best example of third world brains in NASA infact 36% of it's scientists are Indian.

  • very graet....india becoming super power in every field..

  • PAKI RATS jealous of indian space mission.

  • Not only pak all in world... Be proud of that

  • if what u say is true then why are their still 300 million in your country living below poverty line? you have the biggest red light areas in the world. you sell ur daughters to goras for a few hundred rupees. . yes we r poor but not pimps like indians.

  • 100% of pakistan is poor and living below povertyline and on foreign ai. even their president can be seen begging.

  • I hate this Indo-Pak bickering when its not witty and backed by facts. Sooooo brain dead.

  • and talkin about the poverty over here..

    what better is your pathetic pakistan in any way ?

    get ur FACTS right .. dickhead pakidiplomat .

    ur HDI ( human development index ) is at .530 as compared to .611 of ours .

    so paki- DILDO-mat,

    i suggest u to JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP .. paki pig terrorost ..

    jai hind !

  • go ISRO !

    im proud 2 b an indian :D

    and for u paki diplomat..

    i goddamn know out country has a lotta poor people , but that doesnt stop us from advancing in the field of technology!

    this is what makes us stand a class apart from u bastards .. this is the fukin difference between an advancing india and ur pathetic pakistan

    follow ur ideologies and turn even our country into pakistan .. huh

    we are not like u paki pigs whu lick china's ass for cheap and fucked up rockets and junk !

  • pakistan is now a nuclear power and we will destroy many indian cities if u try to invade . this is not 1971. this is 2008.

    by the way u guys got fucked by the chinese in 1962. china can defeat india in a war again. china is much stronger.

    pak cheen dosti zindabad

  • idnia can fuck both of them put together but even china does not want to sleep with whore pakistan

  • and not to forget we raped ur mommas ass in 1972 ..

    and even if we are on war with pak ..

    u guyz wud be exterminated in all aspects may it be the army who will engulf ur pathetic army by their sheer size, or may it be the airforce with SU 30MKIs raping the shit outta ur crappy f-16s and the newly proclaimed jf-17 thunder .. ll bloody crap .

    and not to forget our navy of course with our aircraft carriers , ur navi will be reduced to stone-age ..

  • people like u also give our country a bad name.. look at your dirty comments

  • go masturbate by seeing dead bhutto's old pics u paki bastard.

  • so why are you not able to protect your people from American missiles ? what happened to your nuclear power ..the world is laughing at you jokers. Put those nuclear arms in your Asses and run as time is getting over very fast for you pigs.

  • Okay there is some issue do u know whats really happening we are Indians be calm

  • Abey kutte ke bacche maadar chod ke aulaad, you think that you have neuclear weapons and you can destroy indian cities that's hilearious coz you know why?, India has Anti-Balastic capability and niether of you both (Pakistan, china) have that capability so we can protect ourself from your neuclear missiles, but if we fight back then you will doomed.

  • great achievement congrats ISRO. It has add good points to India in the elite club of BRIC.

    It is a needed task as we shouldn't depend on Gayana for all types of launching. Pakdiplomat should worry about ur earthquake now, dont worry about our flood, it already gone. And also first become good man and stop terror machine generation, otherwise ur country will be in big troubles, it is already started:-)

    ISRO move in lightning speed towards success, Indian peoples are with you.

  • Well Done India also reach Mars and Jupiter and far away Stars in future.

    ISRO Keep Up the Good Work.

  • Pakdiplomat makes me laugh, his beggar country can't even make bicycles without our assistance.BTW does khanadakar834 know wht pakistanis call his country Bangladesh? They call it BUNGLER-DESH; 1 of my former pakistani colleagues (who I was assisting on China port project at Gwadar) explned to me that BUNGLER-DESH mean "land of bunglers"! I found this incredibly funny because in China we call pakistan land of bungling idiots, the irony kills me! How lo can u be if even pakistani call u bunglers?

  • if what u say is true then why are their still 300 million in your country living below poverty line? you have the biggest red light areas in the world. you sell ur daughters to goras for a few hudred rupees. . we r poor but not pimps like indians.

  • you Pakis are the biggest pimps in the world , Beggers of the world and now spreading terrorism to get few more Dollars. The most fucke dup country in the world , whole world hate you dirty pigs . There is a big red ligh areas in Pakistan all cities , even small kids are smuggled out of pakistan for Arabs Camel races where they are tied to camels . Reality is you have no SHAME !!

  • 300 million poor makes 30% of our population but what about Pakistan where 100% are poor , begging.. There is no wheat , no electricity - power cuts are for 16 hours and no clean water to drink .. motherfucker stop bothering about India and do something for your Pathetic country , you are most shameless people on face of this earth and this Jealousy will bring only disaster for you. See how AMerican are firing missiles on your Ass everyday but you poor , cowards cannot do anything !!

  • Huumm Be respect full fist we are Indians

  • waki-pakidiplomat says: "you have the biggest red light areas in the world" - Really Mr. wakipaki? I did not know China had the largest redlight districts in the world; btw our currency in RinMinBee not rupees. But now I have a question for you: "Why is it that Paki-Wakistan has the biggest homosexual redlight districts in the world? Is it because of your idiotic cultural restrictions on contact with women that large numbers of repressed & perverted pakistani men engage in homosexual acts?"

  • Fuck You! ->googleabcd. We don't need you to embarrass China with stupid illiterate comments. You make us look insecure when u insult the Indians. It would be logical for them to wonder why you would criticize their achievement unless u were feeling insecure & threatened by it. Traitor! Was Ur grandfather Japanese? This is why our gov. need to regulate speech, because we still have lots of stupids like googleabcd who don't know use speech responsibly.

  • Compared the ones of the US, Russia and China, the Indian launch center looks like a small lab in university:)

  • Maybe yes but just in such a small launch pad we can reach moon. And for you guy's technology is not so successful as much as ours and also the same mission would cost you 5 times than what it has costed us ($86million)

  • lol, your government is just lying, the cost (86million) doesn't include the observation network and the satellite trace center. All these technologies are provided by the Europe space center. Do you know how much is the cost for these? Hundred of times more than a satellite.

  • Looks like you have made a mistake. Its the USA(NASA) and the ESA whose instruments have been taken for a free ride on the Mission mate.. Not India'S . Please get your facts correct before posting .

  • Googlabcd, did i not tell U to fuckoff earlier? Why U have not complied? I ask U again, are U from 南京 (Nanjing)? Was your grandfather a Japanese Imperial mercenary? Everytime you criticize the Indians and their mission you expose your jealousy and insecurity and by extension taint all of us chinese by your stupidity. Today even Xinhuanet admitting that the Indians have some advantages of China in space. Only a fool underestimates competitor. To Indian friends: I apologize for this idiot.

  • india has 300 million people living below poverty line and they send a rocket to the moon!!! there is no chapati there guys. first feed ur hungry.u dont have helicopters to provide relief to flood victims in bihar and u go on a chand ka safar. our pakistani leaders are corrupt but your leaders are plain stupid.

  • talk like diplomat then

  • stupid eh?

    ok yeah maybe. but...know the facts before you speak pleas. =]

    This mission was not a joy ride. It was infinite consequences. One of them is increased commercial value. Do you realize how many more contracts for launching satellites, etc the ISRO is going to get. YOu probably don't and I don't want to do YOUR homework.

    What bothers me is that you think you feel you are better off than us. Have fun with your bombings everyday. =]

  • india does not have even helicopters for relief aid to flood victims of bihar. thats a fact. yet they have a rocket to send to the moon. misplaced priorities. democracy cant feed people. india has proved it.

  • Yeah....but for some strange reason many pakis still want it :-)

  • And there is Chapati for your Pakistanis ? Do you watch or read your own News papers ? There is no wheat in Pakistan and no elecricity and no clean water to drink . In the whole world maximum kids die in Pakistan due to unclean water. Donot bother so much about our Hungry motherfucker first find ROTI for your impoverished country , we know what we have and this world also knows us .

  • Being an Indian Dont be devil be calm its indian

  • What I'm trying to say is don't believe everything some ISRO or India gov. spokesman says about military sats. ISRO has a vested interest in propagating the myth that India's satellite don't have some military dimension, because admitting it can lead to trade restriction problem for ISRO with certain hypocritical western nations. The fact remains that Indian satellites are much more sophisticated than ours but our launch vehicles are more powerful, ChengShuTai is right. We like this competition!

  • Amandeep, because I live in country were the gov is crude enough to admit that our media is controlled, many chinese no longer naive enough to believe everything we read in media. Unfortunately for many idealistic young people in democracies like India (and the West) they don't realize that their media is also controlled, so u guys haven't developed the instinct to not believe everything u read in media. Ur media is more sophisticated and subtle, but it is not as free & honest as u think.

  • Hi wubuhbuh, Yes u r right abt the Fact that Media is more controlled than we do think.I have enuff reasons to believe how anti-nationalistic is the Indian media.Regarding the competetion, I dont see it, I mean, you ur space objectives r completely different, ours r completely income generation based. I have more reasons to believe that our space programme cannot offer a competition. But yes a constant pinch will b there china reached "that", we have to reach "this".

  • Amandeep I don't know why u have such a low opinion of UR country that u would think that they would be stupid enough to NOT maintain a set of spy satellites to monitor their adversaries. U already admitted that u were ignorant about Indian satellite high res sensors until pnair enlightened U. Therefore U probably don't know other important facts either. Ur own military analyst admit it, so do the israelis so our analysts here in beijing; I think I'll trust the experts & not some idealistic kid.

  • This historic but shame.Many indian haven't got their food everyday.Many people suffering without food in india and living poorly.Many people living very poorly.Donn't show,come back to reality.

    I feel shame, realy....My head gone down.Donn't show bollywood only, show around INDIA...the 3rd world.

  • if it is shameful then why europe devlop rail way systen when thay were in poverty.why thay did nt feed there people why that spend so much on recarch work when most of europe is under poverty . it is just to make there future bright and same INDIA ia doing so there is nothing to b ashamed off my friend

  • what more can we expect out of a bangladeshi immigrant in UK.. who himself has moved out of his country bcos .. of reasons known to all.. it is the typical cribbing mentality and manifestation of inferiority complex...for every Indian success...

  • u fucking indian's r selfish.They are working under me.How do u know they r successfull.Cont out of 1 billiom how many r successfull.Comparing population u should won the world but u r in 3rd world...& u would be..

  • Bangladesh.. ha ha ha ha ha ..what a joke... .. why did u leave your country then... stupid... jackass... which country does not have poor..? u have a seriously retarded mind with too much of islamic propaganda tonic... leave in your world...

  • i wished these westerners and pakistanis went away they always criticizes india for everything good that it does. Where was the critisizm when China launched its anti sattelite weeapons? Why didn't these americans look at their own country and see that their country is wasting a few trillion on a losing war with iraq? It pisses me off in the news articles because whenever they show something good they have to have an article right after it saying; poverty in india, poverty in india WTF! prejeduc

  • FINALLY WE REACH

    ZERO TO MOON

  • Was all that money I made las' year for Kshatriyas on the moon? 

    How come there ain't no money here?

    Hmmm?? Kshatriyas on the moon? Y'know I jus''bout had my fill of Kshatriyas on the moon.I think I'll sen' these doctor bills,Airmail special...to Kshatriyas on the moon.

  • (to the beat and rythym of "Whitey on the Moon")Taxes takin' my whole damn check,

    Junkies makin' me a nervous wreck,

    The price of food is goin' up,

    An' as if all that crap wuzn't enough:

    A rat done bit my sister Jajl,with Kshatriyas on the moon.

  • This launch by India is not just to orbit the moon......it will do mapping of the moon.. specially polar caps.... and that Information will be shared with NASA,ESA and JAXA.

  • India and China's both middle class is around 200 to 300 million.out of a Billion+ people..... what about the rest of the people which is the majority in both counties that live in the country side? are they all rich?

    No poverty exists is both countries....more in India..and lesser in China.....So when China launched its Space program.....no one said about poverty.....etc etc! DOUBLE STANDARDS!

  • Dear Abhishakin, I am from China, I just want to correct a mis-impression you have that nobody criticized China for our successful spacewalk missions. The BBC (British Bastards Corporation) showed a lot of sour grapes, bringing up all kinds of excuses like poverty in China to criticize the space missions. Of course You & I know that the real reason criticism is jealousy, resentment, fear & insecurity. Don't plead & justify urself to these idiots, just ignore them & work harder for ur people.

  • yea the western media try to criticize china if possible....but in the case of India is to a larger extent.....specially from an american pont of view.... In USA people think Indians are very poor and beggers all around!! which is not true!!

  • there are a lot of countries in the world that are more or as poor as India, but people dont talk so much about it in terms of poverty! eg.Pakistan, Nepal,Vietnam, Philippines,Indonesia....when it comes to India... its progress is somehow overshadows by negative aspects

  • wubuhbuh yes thats true and i agree with u

  • completely agree with you. We should continue working and leave the guys who crib to continue cribbing

  • All this talk comes from developed countries like Australia, Canada, Germany etc......who cant stand a developing country like India.....going high tec.... so what India does that is high tec....in space tec...or any other.....critics would always say the same!!...

  • all this stupid talk about the money could be better used to feed its people! DOSENT WORK! Read a economics book!!

  • cont..

    Its not easy to eradicate poverty completely where population is 1 billion+ but India with its young and strong workforce will help India become an economic superpower this centruy as it has enormus potential to be one and minimise poverty in the coming decades.

  • @DDFF32

    haha for what?Today Indias space agency earns money by launching satellites into space.If we had done nothing in the past to boost space tech inspite of facing poverty and sanctions from other countries then we would not have been making money by launching foreign satellites into space.India today can earn billions of dollars and is already eyeing 20%global satellite manufacturing and launch industry,thanks to the efforts in the past. Its not easy to eradicate poverty completely where

  • @sergioalonzo"India is a very poor country"

    India has enormous potential to become an economic superpower this century wether u accept it or not. Its not easy to eradicate poverty completely when India's population is 1 billion+ but our strong middle class along with young and highly qualified workforce will help us in doing so.

    All this reminder of "India having poor people" is just result of perhaps jealousy of some ignorant minds who dont want to appreciate achievements of other nations.

  • Dude pakistan will NEVER have a space agency look how poor your country is and if u guys do get a space agency may god have mercy on the world cause then osama bin laden will get his hands on one of your nukes and put it in the missle them what will happen? pakistan is too poor, unsecure, and religious of a country to have a space agency

  • your country is poor too. go eat a cow hindu dude. better yet, go suck a cow 8 nipples.

    osama is an arab and we are paki. we don't get along with them. we kill osama.

  • Dont respond to KhmerDOg, He's mentally ill nazi wannabe (check his profile), not clear what his ethnicity is, but he sounds like a screwed up darkskin 'minority' that tries to act like a white racist. He's just a shit handler, although he is dumb enough to be a radical pakistani, I don't think he is (1stly not too many pakistanis refer to themselves as 'paki', 2ndly no regular pakistani is hates arabs or osama, no matter what they say in public, they're more likely to worship them).He's a liar

  • If you are an Indian musical artist questioning this expensive mission while you see masses starving, here is some inspiration. Search youtube for "Whitey on the Moon"

  • 80 million could feed lot's of people. Do they still think the MOON IS MADE OF CHEESE, and are telling their people that they are going to get it.

  • You are right sergioalonzo, $80million could feed a lot of starving people in your constantly bankrupt third world country of ARGENTINA. Poor illiterate sergio is going to be so upset in the coming decades when he and his ilk are left in the dust. Here's a suggestion: stick to playing the guitar and watching flamenco (a dance style that came from India you fool), as space technology is too complicated for your puny 'musical' mind.

  • imbecile! flamenco actually originates from Andaluccia Spain , with Arabic influence. May your balls out grow your penis....All I'm trying to say is that..India is a very poor country. Why send the money out to space when it's needed here.

  • Dear sergioalonzoBONZO,

    You state "All I'm trying to say is that..India is a very poor country. Why send the money out to space when it's needed here."

    My ans: I'm afraid that if I tried to explain the complexities of this topic to U ur puny 'musical' mind it might just explode, so out of mercy for u I will refrain from explaining it to u. Now get off the computer get back to playing ur guitar! BTW Flamenco was brought to andaluccia by ciganos from India after the arab invasion. Deal with it.
