Can ISRO beat NASA in the future?

Honestly speaking, NASA is way ahead and more experienced in terms if space technology and exploration. It has countless space missions and moreover human space missions too. It frequently sends humans in space for performing various experiments on further improvements in human space missions. NASA also has announced missions on sending humans to mars in 2030s.

But at the same time, ISRO has came up with some fascinating figures as well. The MOM mission to Mars with budget less than what it needed to make the Hollywood movie – Gravity.. Space Exploration programmes by a developing country like India has succeeded in setting new benchmarks.

Recently, ISRO send 104 satellites in a single rocket only with budget of just 15 million dollars and NASA admitted that it needed 100 million dollars to do the same. So, NASA gave India their satellites to launch.

So, I would go with ISRO not because I am Indian but because it has succeeded in doing the same as NASA but economically, thus saving millions of dollars which can be used somewhere else to make Earth a better place.

But I think we should not say that ISRO is giving tough competition to NASA or any other organization of the world or would take over anyother. Its time not to compete but to join hands and work collaborately for improving Space Exploration Programmes and reaching new worlds, finding new homes as Earth would one day or the other will get depleted of the resources needed for survival.
