India is a joke.

India, as a neighboring country, is also one of the most populous countries in the world. We can often think of its acrobatic parade, passengers covered in train carriages, aircraft carriers that have been overhauled three times and five times, planes that often fall, and so on. It seems that India is always making jokes in the international media. However, jokes aside, the real India is still very capable in some fields, such as India's aerospace engineering. Although there is a big gap between the rich and the poor in India, and most of its weapons and equipment are bought, India's space industry can be said to be very bullish. This is related to the continuous development of Indian space technology and the cultivation and attraction of talents.

The development of space technology in India in the past decade can be said to be a breakthrough. In 2008, it launched the Moon Ship 1 which successfully circled the moon, becoming the third Asian country to explore the moon, only one year behind China. Six years later, India turned its attention to Mars, which is more distant. It successfully launched the Man Garian satellite into orbit, thus becoming the first country in the world to successfully explore Mars for the first time. Man Garian is still working normally around Mars until now. What is even more impressive is that India launched a rocket with 104 satellites in a rocket launch more than two years ago, setting a world record in quantity. At present, India still has many research tasks in the space field, such as deep space exploration and Man Garian II, and is ready for research and launch. By studying the history of Indian space development, we can find that Indian space has two obvious characteristics. The first point is that the price is cheap, the research effect is very high, and the cost performance is high and widely praised. Compared with the aerospace industry in Europe and America, each project often costs $65.438+0 billion, while the Indian Garian spends only $70 million, which is less than the investment of a Hollywood movie. Indian officials also claimed that their mission budget for the lunar probe's space mission around the moon was only110 of similar countries around the moon. Secondly, India's space industry has also broken domestic restrictions and is now more international. For example, the launch of the Moon Ship 1 carried various scientific instruments from the United States and Europe. Mann Garian also cooperated extensively and deeply with NASA, and shared the same research tasks. Indian officials attach great importance to the development of the space industry. Through decades of accumulation and research, India is catching up in the space field and making remarkable progress. At present, India has also made great efforts in the space field, and it is likely to become the fourth country in the world to carry out manned space flight independently. The rapid development of India, in addition to the country's attention to the space field, is also an important factor. According to a survey, India has become the largest source country of overseas students in Europe. The reason why it is so attractive to talents lies in India's generous treatment of talents. Although India's per capita GDP is not high, the wages of aerospace talents have far exceeded its per capita GDP.

Therefore, India's space strength cannot be underestimated by any country in the world. We should clearly see that the gap between China and other countries still exists and is gradually narrowing.
