Isro is in “Satellite launching business” and now goes in commercialization of the launching business. Isro also offers Satellite launching services to countries, which do not have the launch facility.

Space technology needs constant research and development and should not remain limited only to Satellite building and launching. I have witnessed that the best technocrats produced by our IIT, under “aerospace and propulsion” becomes the part of Nasa because of limited scopes offered by Isro. It is a fault of Indian Government that they allot the huge budget for the defense R & D, which has produced very less so far. It doesn’t mean that DRDO doesn’t need it. But, DOS (Dept. of Space) should equally promote Isro for the new R & D in the advanced space technology. I salute Isro scientists who are managing everything in the limited budget.

Our Indian people do not understand the significance of the best establishment (Isro) we have. It is a fault of DOS for not having tried introducing “India and Space” in the Science subjects of schools. DOS should provide complimentary photographs of our developed space technology to be hanged on the walls of the school. It will certainly create the base curiosity among the growing generation of India. After few years, it will be hard to find any person who is not aware about Isro and its developments.

Nasa is more on “exploration” than satellite launching. Moon, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto have already been explored by landing or by taking very close look of them. Hubble is for the deep universe and has reveled extraordinary secrets of the deep universe.

Nasa is “exploration”, where as Isro is a “requirement”. So, cannot be compared with each other. I trust the above article will help my friends who is not aware about the difference between Isro and Nasa.

The current theory of the universe is an endless cycle of Big Bang to Big Crunch to Big Bang to Big Crunch to Big... If this is true and considering the current physics law where
1. The total amount of energy is the same,
2. Energy can't be created nor destroyed,
3. Action will be met by reaction,
then what exactly cause the whole universe to endless evolution? It seems like the universe itself is a perpetual self-sustaining form of existence. Some sort of perpetual motion.

If we swing a pendulum in space, it will eventually stop due to gravitation but why the universe can't stop? If there's nothing outside the universe, then the universe itself must be a form of self-sustaining perpetual motion existence, making physics law void.

What's your comment?

Do we know everything there is to know about fire? Or are there some unanswered questions we (as human civilization) still don't have answered? If so, what are they?

As the bible says, we are created in the image of god, and god is almighty. So what would happen to faith if/when we discover (or most likely are discovered By) beings of a higher intellingence and stature than us humans of god? Would that make us inferior?, thus making God inferior?

When I was about 13 years old I was at football practice and while talking to a friend something caught my eye off in the horizon. It was a very clear day, about 5:00 PM and the sun was still up. About 1/4 mile away I see in plain sight what looked like a classic UFO. It was very plain. It looked like it was two tiers, kind of like a smaller pie pan on top of a larger pie pan. It was a very dull gun metal grey. The only light that I saw was a maroonish color that seemed to circle the bottom. I am usually a skeptic when it comes to things like this but I can not deny what I saw. There is no way that it was an airplane or helicopter. It hovered sideways for a few seconds and then in an instant it was gone. It drives me crazy that I had seen this because I feel a strong need for an explaination if it really was a craft from another world and I feel I will never know.

In order to convince any intelligent, worldly people that the moon landings were a hoax, please provide us with an intelligent answer to the following, or go and find someone who can, for instance a systems engineer or integrator.

Yes it is possible to shoot the moon landings in the desert, more so in the last 10 years, but perhaps not so convincingly in the 1960s. However, please describe the processes by which you would integrate the film production into the systems at Houston control, so that the 150 or so controllers there are fooled for the seven years of the Apollo program.

Did you not know that in the 1960s, you could not do “real time” systems integration of any kind. To put a system into the monitors of Houston control such that for 7 years the controllers were unwittingly seeing a simulation of moon shots rather than the real thing, you would need to bring down all the systems for some time, and you would have to do it repeatedly until you got the scam correct.
