Sky is not the limit. That is the usual saying. Look at India's confident strides in the field, nay, expanse, of space research. Some proof it is of the fact that space is indeed not the limit.
The Indian space research began rather unconventionally if you remember the famous picture of the parts of the space shuttle being carried atop a bullock cart. That did not deter us. Neither did a few failed efforts. We bounced back with renewed vigour so much so that the Chandrayan managed to land on a part of the moon never attempted by any other country.
Yet another remarkable aspect of the space programme of India, I think, is the participation of women in it. This is a highly admirable aspect of the achievement in this field which consisted of other, even developed, countries choosing the Indian propellers to shunt their satellites in to the space orbit.
The space research now-a-days is accessible and open to private players as well which is sure to speed up its growth. In brief, the space research in India showcases a lot of potential. No wonder, the government chose to name a day-n-date to celebrate it. Long live India's space programme!
Pratima@ The debate about a developing country affording space research is no longer relevant as the space programme is both the soft as well as hard power of India.
