    Hey, another example of India doing something that makes no logical sense just for the PR and then gullible people thinking that just because no one else has done it, no one else could have!

    Man, you all are making this easy

      no logical sense except the indigenous technology advancements that make sure india doesn’t need to rely on others for crucial operations (US denying gps info to india comes to mind) along with the money that they earn from private satellite launches, yes.

      i wonder why this is so easy for you, surely it isn’t because you are conveniently ignoring all the positives of a space program.

        If they were doing it for real reasons…

        They’d have launched a few big ones.

        Not just throwing a bunch of junk into space to beat a record no one else is trying to beat.

        Although, to be honest I thought no one would be dumb enough to fall for the propaganda and think any of the stuff people keep bringing up in this thread was worth bragging about.

        But I can admit when I’m wrong.

          what reasons are real enough for you?

          is a navigation system real enough? are weather satellites helping with disasters and saving lives real enough? is telecommunications real enough? is the millions they earn from private satellites real enough?

          i’m sorry all of this falls under propaganda for you. for me personally, these are all real enough to warrant a space program.

          But I can admit when I’m wrong

          doesn’t look like it

            His brain thinks a country that can successfully launch rockets surely doesn’t have what it takes to build a secure linux distro. You think that brain is capable of admitting to mistakes?

      Only 2 of those 104 satellites were Indian. Rest all were foreign satellites. In fact 96 of them were from the USA. But yeah, obviously all these foreign satellites satellites serve no purpose whatsoever. Obviously they were launched just so ISRO could score some PR points 😂

      There is absolutely nothing impressive about launching 104 satellites in one go. What would be truly impressive is building a linux distro, amirite?

      Man, you all are making this easy
