Not sufficient yet to power a spacecraft. Mining of resources from outerspace, moon landings and super-heavy launchers have been part of ISRO's annual reports and presentations for long enough. Problem is they need a launch frequency of 20/year for sufficing current requirement of satellites...

We have to finish what is on our table first. If we don't have nuclear propulsion systems (RTEG) for spacecrafts, no human spaceflight capabilities, no soft landing capabilities for Moon & planets and no large communication networks, there is little we can do for making a colony on Moon even if...

We are already constructing a larger launchpad which is big enough for Delta IV class rockets (tender posted in ISRO thread few years back). I think besides engine and new motors we are yet to test (isn't a technological challenge, at least motors if not engine), we have rest. Only thing is that...

Easier said than done. Our existing factories don't even churn out sufficient number of medium launchers, heavy and super-heavy launches may be once on many years. Further, SCE-200 too is early stage of verifications. A series of many modular heavy and super-heavy launchers is under design...

Titanium too......................

You are yet to see a couple of forums then.

It's you who has a track record of picking fight with anyone while blabbering meaningless things. Learning things to utilize has been the function of any primary or secondary intelligent species if you even pay a little attention to biology rather than promoting few passionate fantasies as...

Humans don't simply yearn to "know" either. We use everything and we learn everything in hope to use it some day. If resource investment is high, for sure the intent isn't entertainment for sure. Sooner you realise it, better for you.

I didn't ask for this kind of response. It's you who's sounding dumber. Establishments search for resources of future. There's no reason to spend that much just for "curiousity" by government who has lot of real fronts to take care here at earth back. Your "curiousity" rhetoric doesn't have any...

Government doesn't throw knowledge in bin after obtaining that. It tries to applicate it wherever applicable in technology. Rest is archived. Sooner or later, maps and composition of planets studied will be used when someone actually has to do something with them. Same with quantum studies to...

My statement is absolutely correct. Knowledge is gained for potential technology. Case is different that not all of science becomes technology, that doesn't mean that government agencies & private companies carry out R&D for "curiosity". Yes, LHC, Gravitational interferometer and neutrino...

Curiosity doesn't make you spending billions in case you have any purpose to get returns. Science is discovered for development of technology. Exploitation of extra terrestrial resources is very much in vision of any spacefaring country.

Well, I'm damn serious about what I said. Countries don't carry out research in outer space for vain. They got very much reasons and visions.

At current level of available tech, no but may be possible in a couple of centuries.
