    I am btfo'd. The budget and maturity of the system was a bit sidelined by me to just shill my idea but if we think about it USA managed to land in a decade on Moon with way lesser tech that time, if they could do it then we can do it considering we already have an engine. ISRO should make SHLV...

    One thing our space program lacked was a vision that would excite our common public, look at elon he said about putting men on the moon almost 8 or close to a decade ago and slowly worked hard towards it. There were countless videos of failures of SN1 to SN10 but people it only made people more...

    I am not contesting that point, i just stating it cuz the returns of a space station at some meme earth orbit are less than what we can accomplish using station on moon, not saying directly create a base by 2030, rather start by sending a man on the moon first, some small habitat using 3d...

    If ISRO says that we are not planning for Moon base by the end of the decade i am going to loose myself. Of course it's only possible once SCE200 successfully performs and we get SHLV. I am more excited about the prospects of HLV than anything. Our new goal for Moon mission should be Moon...

    Things change, 3 years ago we would not have expected the decline, ISRO was talking about 12 launches per year so on. Then covid and gaganyaan was made the priority and here we are with ISRO trying to hide their faces. He is pretty trustable source, eric berger of India.

    And it was most likely due to the pressure from the government, that's the entire point. Sivan is a scientist not a babu or a neta, it's not like they give him any choice. And yes, i agree about the rest. I remember talking to my friends during my 12th or so it was like one launch every one and...

    Problem lies with the boss of ISRO chief, K. Sivan is just a favourite scapegoat of people who don't want to point fingers at their favourite leader. Changing Sivan won't do much, let's just hope that Gaganyaan mission doesn't meet the same fate as CY-2.

    Gaganyaan we will see, if things go well™, unmanned mission this year and manned mission next year.

    It's just a TD for now, maybe some derivative of it can be used like boeing's x37, or something like Dreamchaser. ISRO is working on a VTVL rocket too (booster recovery also) if that can be combined with rlv then we can have a fully reusable rocket. This of course is limited for LEO (RLV-TD...
