I wouldnt say smiling, perhaps thoughtfully mocking pose would more appropriate.

Yes mocking our poor virtual bird shooting skills. It would take a really young individual to not recognize the duck hunt dog.

China calls for 'joint efforts' for ensuring peace in outer space
Press Trust of India, 5 Nov 2013

BEIJING: As India on Tuesday stole the march over China by launching a mission to Mars, Beijing called for "joint efforts" to ensure peace in outer space.

A rocket carrying the unmanned Mangalyaan orbiter lifted off this afternoon, making India the fourth country after the US, Russia and EU to send probes to Mars. It is due to orbit the red planet in September next year.

"Outer space is shared by the entire mankind. Every country has the right to make peaceful exploration and use of outer space," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a media briefing when he was asked about India's Mars probe.

At the same time, he said, the international community should make "joint efforts to ensure enduring peace and sustainable development of outer space".

Asked whether China is apprehensive of India's space programme, Hong said relations between the two countries are on a path of steady growth. "Political mutual trust between our two countries has increased and mutual cooperation has expanded," he said.

However, the official Chinese media alleged that India is undertaking ambitious ventures to overtake the country's space programme.

The state-run Global Times daily criticised India's space programme, saying it sent a probe to Mars despite having millions of poor people to gain an advantage over China.

"India has an ambitious goal of leading Asia in this area, especially having an advantage over China," it said in an editorial titled "India's space ambition offers clue to China".

"So far, only the US, Russia and EU have succeeded in Mars exploration. Other attempts to reach Mars, including China's Yinghuo-1 mission and Japan's Nozomi mission, have failed.

"As poor as India is, New Delhi managed to carry out its Mars exploration program with a budget of only $73 million, much less than the spending of China and Japan."

India is confronted with a complicated public opinion environment on space development, similar to that which China has to face, it said.

"India is poor, so is China when compared with its Western counterparts. New Delhi has set China as its target, while China views the advanced level of the US and Russia as a reference," it said.

"China has achieved a leap forward in the development of manned space flight and space station technology. It has already been in advance of India," it added.

Besides sending probes to the Moon, China is currently building a space station to rival Russia's Mir, the international space station also used by the US.

"China is building its strategic power as well as developing its livelihood. Becoming a great power is required to manage all-round development. That's why India won't give up developing space, aircraft carrier and nuclear submarines in spite of its poor conditions," the editorial said.

Looks like Chinese media are blaming India's Mars Mission for poverty in India.

interestingly pakis fooled their janta by testing NASR Hatf 9 Chinese made missile, toady to counter Indian mission to mars news

/ end of rant

Satisfied now

 

[kseeker]

Anybody who questions the need for validated deep space tech is living in fools paradise. This is an investment for future and we will have mastered a host of technologies for launching more meaningful missions next time.

Wow ! I am enlightened ! Thanks for letting me know :sarc:

Congrats to ISRO and the PSLV team.

Science and space exploration is always an investment, and never an expenditure. Those harping the "why send planetary probes when there are people starving" argument should donate all their wealth away to help alleviate poverty, find a building with a minimum height of 100 ft, and jump off it head-first.

Also a resounding "F you" to all those junglee Seemandhra goondas masquerading as "journalists," who were sloganeering in the mission-control room.

I just heard Harsh Mander commenting that we should have used the money spent on poverty.

Where was he when the Commonwealth Games was being organised and then held?

I believe the Commonwealth Games cost more than this Mars Mission.

I wholeheartedly agree with your view regarding science/space exploration, but calling for those who don't agree with our views to commit suicide is a bit over the top.

Chinese are much better than -------- usually. This time they are whining a little more than usual. But even now, Chinese are more sensible than Britutds.

The interesting thing is, India has given this low-cost launch window to Mars enough credibility for other nations' space programs to try a similar approach, and therefore lower the overall cost of Mars exploration. This is great news to every fan of space exploration, regardless of nationality.

 

[jmj_overlord]

instead of pondering on how to reduce costs and obtain results, it's just criticisms on the poorer conditions of the country. Read many of the comments written by brits in the bbc site. Those guys can't bear to watch one of their former colonies progressing in the field of space exploration. Anyway we have seen such comments before and will see such comments again but we will go forward...............

Also, why are we forgetting the tech-demonstration potential of this mission? If successful, quite a few countries would want to outsource key portions of their space program to ISRO, and that would mean revenue. 450 Crores will be recovered in no time.

I have heard of Mars One (a non-profit organization from Netherlands) are planning to establish a permanent human colony on Mars (by 2023). Maybe they could ask ISRO for help in sending probes and other things at a low cost.
