3 Chandrayaan-1 Editorial I ndia’s successful launch of a satellite to go round the moon and land a probe on the moon is a great feat of achievement by Indian scientists and engineers. The nation must salute them and wish them more successes like landing a Bharatiya on the moon and bringing him back to Bharat. We are the fifth country after the USA, Russia, European Union and Japan, to place a satellite in orbit around the moon for exploration purposes. We may recall that it was the former USSR’s feat of sending Sputnik as an artificial satellite of earth that jolted the mighty USA out of its smugness and spurred that country to numerous space exploration projects including the historic landing of Neil Armstrong in 1969 on the moon and bringing him back safely to Mother earth and later landing exploration laboratory equipments on Mars and so on. These projects create a tremendous wealth of know-how in the country; they involve the bringing forth into being of a number of new enterprises to design and develop various subsystems involving advanced technologies which have spin-off benefits in other sectors of economy. In fact, the scientific and industrial might of a nation can be built by such challenging projects like landing men on the moon and later on, on the Mars and explorations even farther into space. Some people are asking why did we not do this before and some others are asking how a poor country can afford to do such things. These are the proverbial unmitigated Shalya-like “friends” of Bharat. Some of these hailed and congratulated China when it first exploited the nuclear device but denounced India for doing the same thing. They congratulated China on its development of intercontinental ballistic missiles and sending a man into the lunar orbit and brining him back. But they denounce India for such a project. It is because of these resident non-Indians (RNIs) on whom some governments have been having to depend for getting and staying in power that there is delay in India undertaking this project and their under-funding. These very forces are opposed to India’s accelerated nuclear power generation programs. India should ignore these foreign ideology and foreign interest inspired criticisms and pour larger amounts of finances and human resources into the development of space science technologies which are essential for the defence of India too.
