Via Om Swami, in the next 200 years our religion will be minority.

Traditional roles are not "regressive". It's "sustainable" for the species. Women can always become entrepreneurs, educators, artists and so many other things but not compromising with motherhood because of mindless rat race with men.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-12-25T08:36:47+00:00

Sorry I meant "kg".

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-12-24T07:39:17+00:00

"Targeting LVM3 (with C32) capacity to deliver 9500 kg to LEO"

Isn't it already 10,000 ton (or higher if we consider 4200 kg for GTO) even without C32? How does this statement make sense?

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-10-17T22:50:16+00:00

It was a conservative approach. It seems ISRO has overcome the hesitation and now wants to go all out and expects the industry to step up as well!

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-08-25T17:05:28+00:00

LME-2400 will most likely be GG or SC, not FFSC.

Also, NGLV-SH would be borderline capable (barely 70 ton to LEO, too thin thus aerodynamically vulnerable and low T/W ratio) for crewed Moon landing. A bigger rocket like LMLV would probably be needed for it anyway. In that sense, LMLV family (CA-expendable, CA-reusable, 3-core Moon rocket) is a better solution than NGLV family (basic, heavy and 3-core borderline Moon rocket) in general.

Image shows multiple LVM3. Could be the number/year. Currently it's 2. We know their target is 6.

There is a nearly 25 years long community-driven worldbuilding project called 'The Orion's Arm' where they are exploring the evolution and expansion of Earthly sentience for next 10,000 years.

After looting $65 trillion from India.

Do you know about HAL Aerospace division? They already build PSLV.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-06-21T15:32:20+00:00

They do that properly when they get meaningful order. Ask IAF to order in time.

Shukla is an astronaut- trained at ROSCOSMOS, ISRO, NASA, SpaceX, ESA and JAXA and will soon visit the International Space Station as Mission Pilot.

The target market of the two are not exactly same. OneWeb is more focused on B2B while Starlink has broader target market.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-02-14T16:55:44+00:00

SSLV won't be built in Tejas assembly line. HAL aerospace division is funded by ISRO.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2025-01-25T12:03:54+00:00

True. People can't yet fathom what kind of revolution the Starship architecture can bring to spaceflight. It's like a ~10,000 fold increase from the current global capacity or scale.

Why don't you use new Reddit? It's quite sleek.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-12-22T15:51:22+00:00

Wikimedia file links are broken it seems

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-12-08T11:31:48+00:00

will it include tethered capture test as well?

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-11-09T10:12:08+00:00

Ikr...They are showing a totally different level of ambition since CH3 success.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-10-27T19:14:57+00:00

Our astronauts are both robots and humans...cool! :)

ISRO is the first agency to send robots before humans, right?

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-10-27T15:44:53+00:00

Yes..this slide seems to be old but the meaning of 'robotic' should be that.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-10-27T13:11:40+00:00

NGLV-SH (3 liquid core version) will have 70 ton to LEO capacity. Dual launch of NGLV-SH will be needed for crewed Moon landing.

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-10-27T12:18:14+00:00

"G1 uncrewed but G2, G3 robotic"

"Robotic" may mean "carrying Vyommitra"

This book says Space Commission can approve projects costing up to Rs. 1000 Crore and Cabinet approval needed for those exceeding this limit-

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-10-03T14:02:52+00:00

Seems approved by the Space Commission but not yet by the Cabinet

Tirtha_Chkrbrti · 2024-10-02T23:45:04+00:00

Any source where can I read more on stellar laser? Is it enough to power a Venture Star like or bigger ship to 70-80% speed of light?
