Indian space shuttle program has been a fiasco! Despite the readily available space-technology crutches, failure is becoming their habit - source of pride and patriotism. No doubt, failure is the mother of success. But once Mom gets angry then what? It is like beating again and again along with keeping face value to the spectators under the shadow of gaining meaningful experience and perfectionism. Their justifications are diluting like jokes. How many more failures Indian people would suffer to starve after spending multi crores of rupees on such adventures? It’s like living in a fool’s paradise that spending crores can make India adorable to international community.

It is the time to identify the hotter priorities. The significant shift of attention must be towards the overgrowing ailments of the Indians. Efforts are amply required to fulfill the thirst of pure water, filling the starved Indian with two times meal, availability of health facilities, education to the poor children, transport to the remote, sanitation to the populace, power to the industry, roads to the movers, and employment to the youth and security to the public. For all, this needs investments which in return not only self-sustaining but profitable to generate the love for the country. It can be achieved by replacing Indian defense adventure spending on these tricky problems and give a way to reduce their failure rate.

India’s Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the primary space agency which was established in 1969. ISRO stands amongst the six largest government space agencies of the world; USA's NASA, Russia's RKA, Europe's ESA, China's CNSA and Japan's JAXA. Its primary objective is to advance space technology and use its applications for national benefit. Considering the natural disasters and space, NASA is involved with something called the Famine Early Warning Systems Network. It provides timely and rigorous early warning and vulnerability information on emerging and evolving food security issues. This is an example of space being used to help people but it’s not in ISRO at all.

The manifesto of India’s space program was to develop poor areas of the country. But India’s space program is not just lifting up the country out of poverty by granting few lucky kids to work in high-tech government labs as it was “created specifically to help the people of India”.

Emphasizing, the Indian indigenous technology needs genius indigenous manpower. In a setback to ISRO, their attempts to launch the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), GSLV-F06 carrying GSAT-5P, failed on 25 December 2010, making Christmas lousy and cloudy with too much lightening in the sky. The rocket deviated from its path and exploded mid-air. The initial evaluation implied that loss of control for the strap-on boosters caused the rocket to veer from its intended flight path and shows fireworks in the sky in order to impress the Chairman of ISRO.

After two such rockets failed in 2010 on April 15th and December 20th, now again its GSLV third failure of planetary launch which shows that Indian scientist are short of capabilities and museum is the place where this GSLV belongs now.

Trust me it’s good to dream but dreaming higher than your capabilities makes you hallucinating. 

With all this, now the question pinches that do Indians really have the capability to develop satellite indigenously? Their short sightedness deals to get into the race with others. This "Star Trek" madness should be given to West only with this realization that their failure rate is increasing day by day with most tragic mishaps at sea, land and air.
