Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
India
launches 'monster' rocket
This made-in-India,
43-meter tall rocket is a launch vehicle for cargo or human crew to space. It
weighs 660 tons, as heavy as 200 elephants, and can send up to three tons of satellites
into the high altitude orbit for TV, telephone calls and broadband connections.
Though it isn’t the heaviest rocket in history, this second successful launch
of the heavy-weight vehicle is crucial for India’s future projects, to send human
crew into space and explore Mars.
It is not
surprising to develop such high-tech, money-eating spacecraft for this
still-developing country. As science is promoted in its constitution in India,
the majority of the college students are majoring some area in science, and their
talent and capability is already proved to be the top of the world.
Furthermore, their wages are still far lower than the comparable talents in the
US or European countries. So why not making us of the domestic resources
instead of paying expensive bills to other countries? And more importantly,
they can retain and make use of their knowledge and experience for their
future.
Enjoy reading
and thinking which country will lead space programs in the mid-21st
century.
