ISRO successfully conducts landing experiment of the Reusable Launch Vehicle
I will not tolerate what @Zurrrrr writes"It's baffling to me that India is putting so much money into being part of the next space race, when they still have such vast and prominent problems on the ground.You could say that for many countries, but there is a difference in degree IMO."Said every racist and ignorant ever. You think we don't have people who make cost benefit analysis before investing in such projects? We don't have parliament and budget sessions?The payloads we deploy immensely help us socially and technologically advance. Do you know that?Ed tech itself got eGyanKosh, Swayam, NPTEL, private teachings on govt. platforms so cheap that by next year about a quarter million adults will be uplifted out of poverty. That funding is given to satellites launched by ISRO. Did you know that?Had it not been for ISRO, we wouldn't have had larger outreach of instant cash transfers and payments. Did you know that?Had it not been for ISRO we wouldn't be able  to fight societal superstitions or bring in public health education drives let alone dumb down power play of society by caste and gender. Do you know that?That also includes targeted courses for farmers about endemic genetic problems, weather, pests to Artists about film-making. Did you know that?Even the money we get to deploy other western country's payloads makes people lift out of poverties in a single digit of percentage of populations in a city for every year! Do you know that?But no. A random pompous clueless stranger on the internet comes to an sweet intelligent discussion site and declares he is baffled and India should now hold a inter-ministerial meeting to stop space projects.These people have been everywhere from NYTIMES cartoonists to HN unfortunately. I don't understand how should one ban from this site either.You are not contributing to the intended discussion of this site relating to the link posted, but yourself. You just want to throw around how baffled you are and sleep back in your mother's basement.
