Finally we are getting some tentative cooperation on this.

The C25 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle would release five huge fuel cylinders after they were spent and all of them would fall into the ocean.

"Our calculations indicate that the fifth tank could possibly land in the Andaman Sea, about 360 kilometres off Phang Nga province. However it would burn up and its size would be much smaller," he added.

So this is what India is spending the £2 Billion pounds in Foreign Aid given to them by the UK Government,earlier this year! given that the Indian Governments penchant for squandering money,and watching their people living in squalor ,poverty, and hunger,the only thing worse than what the Indian Government is doing to their own people,... is what the British Government has done to their own people in providing the necessary finance,against the permission of the people, to make it possible in the first place.

What is the point of this very minor potential achievement' in Space Technology,and unlikely of any real use at all?

A Disgusting International Disgrace,and abuse of the peoples money!

I despair!

India has nukes, but it doesn't have a rocket that will reach China. It feels it needs one as a deterrent due to the constant conflicts with China, especially in the Cashmere (Kashmir) Region, and concerns about conflicts over the use of the seas. The Sino-Indian war which began in 1962 has never ended officially, and there are still skirmishes.

India is developing a long range missile.

End of story.

Sorry NeverSure it's not the "End of Story" regardless of what Country we are talking about,it's more damage to our world,more missile testing damage,more pollution,more wasting resources on something we hope never has to be used.

Because of repercussions,how stupid is that ?

Stupid enough that we never learnt anything from the Arms Race,and Nuclear Deterrent from the sixties onwards.

In reality we are one Madman away from destroying our planet: But for the fact they didnt' have the ultimate deterent,who would you give the keys to the Red Buttons? Chairman Mao ?,Hitler ?,Stalin ?,Gaddaffi ? Bin Laden ?

Remember:Bin Laden? Remember: Sadam, Remember: idi Amin? Any of these nutcases (and more) would have pressed the RED buttons had they had the missiles,make no mistake of that. so let's not talk about the why's and where fors of what Country should have Nuclear Arms it's <deleted>! which i'm sure you already know!

Good thing your not in charge with people like you we would all be still walking around in bear skins. India is starting to become an economic power this will help them develop even further. That Britain is paying something is just compensation for everything they stole from them in the past. Just like my country has paid out to countries we colonized before. See it as a penalty from the past.

Relevance to Thailand beyond some vague reference to Phuket ?
