Good job pissing off virtually every other nuclear state. 👍 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-47783137
Not saying that I support weaponising the space .. But 50 years of appeasing the nuclear powered nations did not bear any fruits for India. Trump and Xi seem to understand the language of power better.
What fruit? India's economic problems have nothing to do with being able to shoot down satellites, and its military problem with Pakistan doesn't either. This is just nationalistic hype to paper over economic failure.
When did India appease any country?
Did you even read the full article?
I did. And I also read ten other articles. That's why I am saying that I don't support weaponization of space. I would support an international treaty on banning such weapons. But till such a ban is in place, I fully support India's efforts to develop such weapons. What do you expect India to do? Have blind faith in Jared Kushner's middle east policy ? Or have faith in John Bolton? America should stop expecting the world to sit back while Trump chants "space force" nonstop.
I was referring to OP. I agree with your point already
It says India is the 4th nation to achieve this feat. Why wasn’t this an issue when the previous 3 did it?
It was and is an issue. I’m astonished by the complacency argument “others are doing it” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_missile_test https://thebulletin.org/2007/10/space-debris-from-antisatellite-weapons/
It's more than the complacency argument. When nuclear weapons came to the world, the nuclear 5 conducted hundreds of tests, and then when they were satisfied with their arsenals they banned it for the rest of the world and bullied India for half a century. India is just learning from the mistakes of the past.
Again it proves fact that Indians got their priorities wrong.. India is still developing country and doesn’t have enough resources to fix their infrastructure or other problems. What on earth they will get by bombing satellites in space. Space is for exploration ,technology and humanity. All countries should work together at least in space. I hope politicians across the world will understand this fact and allow scientists to collaborate and solve complex space exploration problems.
Is it possible for India to invest even ₹1 in some scientific mission without some entitled western “first world” dude commenting “but but they are so poor, shouldn’t they fix their poverty first?”? Do you get a massive high when you make these comments? “Ah. A developing country working on science and technology? Let’s belittle them and boost my insecurity. “?
Nothing wrong about India working on science and technology, if India beats rest of the world sending humans to Mars or Saturn , I will be more than happy to celebrate our humanity’s achievement. However this is destroying something and probably causing problems for other humans. Just think space as human not as a Indian or Chinese or American..
US did its first ASAT test in 1959, Modi thinks this makes him look cool but it just makes him look like a backwards idiot. India should try and do something more useful like land a rover on the moon, or some astroid, like China and Japan did. But India likely doesn't have the technology to do that, they can only do these 1950s era things.
If it’s so easy how come only 4 countries have been able to do it. Stop comparing to US about anything space related, its an outlier and no one is close to it. No one except US has landed on moon.
Because it’s not worth it. Most of space mission are either NASA or ESA and they always work and help each other. Don’t understand why country like India need to bring tribalism in space exploration in 2019.( I hope trump will be busy doing other stuff and leave NASA alone)
Poo in loo, not in space!
Day of the shake is near 🍌 boy
Ah. How can there be a post on India without some toxic western shit not mentioning this? Your dad should have just gone to sleep that night. But he didn’t. Now here we are.
Without looking at the comments, I bet there are a lot of Indians being obnoxious and personally attaching everyone who criticises India. It feels like many Indians are very insecure and can’t stand anything unflattering about India. And yes, I’m Indian. But an honest one.
Yup. And they already flagged all the other threads on this topic as if flagging on blind can hide their fuckup

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Looks like a turf fight between Nasa and the Pentagon. Onwards with the space force.
