The news is really great for Indian
technological and economic
strengths. Now, India is 4th nation
in the world after USA, USSR and
CHINA to do so. Moreover, now India
can provide satellite launching
services to other countries which
would bring precious dollars to
strengthen our economy. Thanks to
Economic Ban imposed by America,
India is going great guns in defense
and space research. Salutes to the
Indian scientists and government.
Failures are bound to happen when
learning curve is going up. -

A manned mission to space will be
another 10 years for India from now.
However, the successful deploy and
recovery of the SRE (Space capsule
recovery experiment) satellite would
move us a step closer towards this
goal. The SRE is scheduled to be
brought back after 11 days of orbit.
Let us keep the fingers crossed till
then.
The successful launch is certainly a
moment of pride for us Indians. I
wish more of science graduates would
opt for staying back in India for a
career in research and development.

Yes
indeed it is a proud moment. But, in
all the zeal, we should not speak
the untruth...
"They have proved that India is
second to no other superpowers when
it comes to space technology."
Indians have proved that they are
improving their technology and have
a great potential. They have proved
that if political and economic
stability continues, they will catch
up quickly. As far as second to none
goes, let's be pragmatic. We were
singing "Saare Jahan se achcha.." in
1969 when we were getting 486 wheat
as a part of foreign aid and when
WHO was working hard to stamp out
smallpox in India.
I don't want to dampen the
enthusiasm but let's look at it for
what it is - a great stride forward,
but a leap up to the front of the
line ? Not yet. We have Mulayam
Singhs and ULFA's as logs tied to
our feet which we must deal with
first. - Aarcee - Jan. 12,

Yeah, of course it is proud moment
for all the Indians around the
globe. The people who work 24x7
deserve to make this as their
proudest day in their lives and they
truly deserve this big comments and
thanks from everyone. - Ankit
