India launches first privately made rocket: A game-changer for the future of space exploration?

The Indian space agency has taken an important step in the direction of private space exploration with its recent launch of the first privately built and owned rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C-39. While this isn’t India’s first venture into space, it has been decades since India was able to successfully launch a rocket on their own without the help of another country—that is, until now. The launch was considered successful, although one of the rocket’s payloads failed to detach from the main body during the mission.


Private companies are changing the space race


Private companies are changing the way we think about the space race. With private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, humans are now able to explore outer space without government funding. This brings with it new questions about how society will function in a world where everyone is given equal access to outer space. However, private companies are changing more than just human access to outer space—they're also changing what it means to be an astronaut.


What this launch means for India


While it's still too early to tell what this launch will mean for India, there are a few things that might be worth noting. First off, by launching its own rocket, India has now taken control over its technology and can better compete with other countries in the space race. Secondly, this could lead to increased innovation and development in India which is something that everyone would like to see happen.


The potential implications for the global space industry


Private space exploration has been a long time coming. For years, countries like Russia and China have been leading the way with successful missions and spacecraft, while America has languished in their shadow. However, that is all about to change as India just successfully launched its first privately made rocket into orbit. This marks a major milestone in global space exploration and will hopefully propel us back onto the world stage.


What this could mean for the future of space exploration


If successful, this could be a major boon to the private space industry. The launch and subsequent success is a huge step in India's race to become an international powerhouse in space technology. It could also set a precedent for other countries around the world to follow suit and pursue their own endeavors with private enterprises. Even if this one project doesn't work out, it will still have been a good investment towards India's future as they continue to experiment with new and innovative ways to explore outer space.

Oppo vs. iPhone: Which Smartphone is Right for You?

By
The two most popular smartphone brands are the iPhone and the Oppo, but which one should you choose? They’re both top brands, so they have plenty of loyal customers, but they have quite different operating systems and features that make them unique. In this article, we’ll look at the differences between these two smartphones to help you make a decision about which one is right for you. Apple’s strategy Apple’s approach to releasing a new version of its phone is simple: As soon as a new version of an iPhone comes out, it sells older models at discounted prices—and it also helps carriers sell phones on installment plans. A strong app ecosystem Android has over 1 million apps in its Play Store, whereas iOS App Store features about 700,000 apps, still more than any other mobile platform. If you want to be able to do a great number of things on your smartphone—or at least everything your friend can do—get an Android phone; if you just want to check Facebook and send emails every once in awh...

Populations at Risk for Diabetes: How to Manage the Epidemic

By
Type 2 diabetes is an epidemic, and it’s something that’s affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. If you or someone in your family has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, these tips can help you better manage the condition, whether you’re doing it alone or with help from a doctor. While there is no cure yet, with proper management, people with diabetes can still lead healthy lives and enjoy the same quality of life as anyone else. Low-Income Populations The incidence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in populations with low incomes. This is due to a number of factors, including limited access to healthy food, unhealthy food options in food deserts, and high levels of poverty that discourage physical activity. The most common risk factor among people with low income who have type 2 diabetes is obesity, which can be caused by an inactive lifestyle and poor diet. Additionally, because these populations often have less access to medical care, they are more likely than others living in...

Diversifying your crops may lead to less weed problems

By
Farmers have long known that different crops have different weed problems. For example, legumes are particularly good at preventing parasitic weeds from growing nearby, but they also bring their own challenges in the form of herbicide resistance and diseases like soybean rust.  What isn’t as well-known is how using multiple crops on the same farm can help you get rid of your weed problems altogether! A recent study published in PLoS ONE has found that farms with high crop diversity had 60% less parasitic weed abundance than farms with low crop diversity. Crop diversity can reduce weed pressure A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences offers a potential explanation for why crop diversity can reduce weed pressure. It turns out that when farmers grow two or more crops, they are able to avoid most parasites that are specialized on one type of plant. This is because a host plant and its parasite depend on each other for survival, so only host plants w...
