India Sends A Spaceship To Mars After Uk Gives £280Million In Aid


Recommended Posts

INDIA launched its first Mars-bound spacecraft today at a cost of £45million - while the UK still gives the country more than six times that figure in aid each year.

The Asian country, which has widespread poverty, has spent more than £600million in total on its space programme.

The UK Government has pledged to stop giving aid to India in 2015 after taxpayers handed £280million to the country in 2012.

Last year India's then finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said UK aid was “a peanut in our total development expenditure”.

The Indian government has defended the Mars mission by noting its importance in providing high-tech jobs for scientists and engineers and practical applications in solving problems on Earth. 

Hundreds of people watched the rocket carrying the Mars orbiter take off from the east-coast island of Sriharikota, and many more across the country watched live TV broadcasts.

Officials at the space centre described it as a "textbook launch" and if the mission is successful, India will become only the fourth space programme to visit the red planet after the Soviet Union, the United States and Europe.

It was already rejected by Indian Govt last year.

On that day, people literally cried on BBC, Telegraph portals as they felt that UK as a country was humiliated by India.
