My response is usually, you’re right, lets cut our military spending, not our science.

Stay off the internet

Many parts of India are completely out of reach of the authorities and government and are run by “elders” of the village. How about get your fucking country out of third world first?

A private US company. Just like the private US companies that built the shuttle, the atlas V, and every other rocket we’ve sent into space.

No.

You and Satish Jadhav are gentlemen who rather than call me a jerk, which you justifiably could have, chose to inform and educate. Thank you.

It’s not photoshopped and none of these facts are false: The only photoshopped shit here is your ignorant foolishness photoshopped as intelligence.

Great, India can launch things into orbit too, but right now, you have the same manned launch capability as India.

I take the bus too, but I’m certainly not going to sneer at the people who own cars. Even less so at someone who tries to build thier own. Busses are great, so long as they go where you want to go, when you want to go, and only want to transport what they’ll let you take on the bus. Otherwise, it turns out that having…

It would have to improve to be in shambles.

Oh, it wasn’t met as a dig.

India launches satellites regularly. Their rockets are not reusable yet, but they are quite effective.

I’d say more general racism and statism than attribute to any particular ideology.

36% of Scientists working in Nasa are Indians. You are saying this because India was quite late in space programs, yet we have scientists much better than nasa and due to our requirement for money we can do every project in low budget unlike America which is truly wasting its money.

The way Americans currently get into space involves bumming rides on 50 year old Russian capsules, so people probably shouldn’t be too smug.

India is home to some of the brightest people man has to offer. The majority of high end tech jobs in the United States are more likely to be given to a graduate in India before looking at Americans.

Some of these comments just astound me for their sheer level of snark. This is a major accomplishment for India, and all you can do is mock them. Well, folks, while you’re yukking it up about the “teeny tiny shuttle”, have a look at the US Air Forces’ Boeing X-37. It’s a little space shuttle that they launch from time…

Pictured above: libertarian racism.

So this article is sort of misleading. The implication is that this is India’s small, inexpensive version of the US Shuttle. It isn’t. It is a small scale test model. The original scale test models for the US Space shuttle were similarly small and cheap too (even when you adjust for decades). The final version is…

When was the last time Mexico visited Mars :D :D
