Our Indian space research organization(ISRO) is working hard to apply advanced technologies to solve the problems of man and society. And now India is a step closer to fulfilling its aspiration of putting a human in space by 2015. A blue-ribbon government panel gave a nod last week to the crewed space mission which costs $3.1 billion.
By 2013-14, India intends to flight-test an unmanned space capsule, and a year later a crew of two or three astronauts would be launched into low Earth orbit on India’s GSLV. India would become the fourth country after Russia, the United States, and China to have a homegrown crewed space program.
Some critics say that India should focus on eliminating poverty rather than space travel. But I conceive that India can well afford the venture because our economy is growing very fast, we have sufficient resources, and plentiful high-skilled man power to success the space program. Putting an Indian in space using an Indian rocket launched from Indian soil is one of our ultimate dream.
And that's gonna become true!!!!!!!!
