Lord Liaden Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 I hear and read many analysts asserting that India is a nation on the rise, and will become a major global player in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 It is indeed. More importantly, it's a nation which is embracing higher technology, and building the infrastructure to be strong and self-sufficient while being a full participant in the global community. Which I suspect is one reason China is so driving to be the regional power in the area and a potential superpower - India is actually better positioned to do so on a slightly longer timescale. China wants to be in a position to neutralize Indian ambitions - but that is driving it into conflict with the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DShomshak Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Geopolitical implications and speculations should perhaps go in the Politics thread. Though they certainly exist! An Indian scientist interviewed about the landing declined to "Ha ha" at Russia's failure, which shows he's probably a better person than I am. <sigh> He's right, of course. Whatever one thinks of Russia's government right now (violating my own suggestion, sorry), it was an attempt to increase human knowledge and presence in space. It's failure is nothing to gloat about or mock. A NASA member interviewed on ATC suggested that soft landings on the Moon are actually more difficult than soft landings on Mars. On the Moon, you can't use parachutes to reduce velocity: It all has to be done with rocketry. So mad props to India's space agency!
