IS INDIA'S ISRO THE MOST SUCCESSFUL SPACE AGENCY AFTER NASA? | Reaction!

hello people I am javi Kawai joined by Natasha Martinez we're gonna look at is India's ISRO the most successful Space Agency after NASA and for anyone who's not from India or doesn't know what is ro is most I'm assuming most people watching this video know what is ro is but it's Indian Space Research Organisation I did not know that until just a second ago I don't know if you guys call it is ro or ISRO but is ro sounds kind of cool yeah this is a side note I'm super super into space exploration all that stuff astronomy and whatnot I would say that I don't know much about it but I'm just like a hobbyist anyway I used to watch a lot of the space videos on Netflix and whatnot I still watch them to this day like I'll get super into it we just had our 50th anniversary of the moon landing and I was watching a whole bunch of videos debunking the conspiracy theories about how the moon landing was faked tweeted at certain you know astronomers anyway I'm into this stuff just to say the least let's get into it this video is haunted by brilliant hey welcome back in life on this channel I've talked a lot about technology and businesses space companies I've talked about national agencies like NASA Lisa endless cosmos I've also talked about private companies like SpaceX and rocket lab one entity of refrained to talk about is ISRO the Indian Space Research Organisation come on because it's really hard to pigeonhole eyes RL yes it is a traditional national agency much like NASA the United States but it's also at the same time extremely cost conscious and result-oriented like a start-up this launch prize is almost as competitive as SpaceX so let's talk about it today where does AI asaro really fit in and what makes it so special first of all it is not fair to compare I sorrow with other space agencies because I Azzaro has never possessed the ambitions or the fundings like the other space agencies NASA's budget each year is 18 billion dollars 7 billion for European Space Agency 3 billion for the Chinese and the Russians I sorrows budget each year is only one point seven billion dollars with two hundred and eighty five billion dollars cash reserve Apple could have funded ISRO with cash for a hundred and sixty seven years crazy little ISRO spends every year and that is why comparing ISRO with NASA wouldn't be fair however this is not to say that is ro has not achieved extraordinary results it has two of the most successful launches of ISRO is the PSLV sea 37 in 2017 and the maengui on in 2013 t SLBC 37 until this day holds the record for launching the most satellites in a single rocket and Mongolian successfully helped ISRO to become the fourth country to orbit Mars even before the Chinese but none of the aforementioned achievements comes close to what is ro has spent both missions around 70 million dollars each this I think reflects the core philosophy of ice ara which is to be ambitious but at the same time cost-effective in the 1960s the Soviet Union and the United States competed fiercely in the space industry which eventually accelerated the collapse of the Soviet Union and now the Chinese are catching up with the Americans not to compete with NASA this time but the Chinese are not going to be anyone elses Lackey either their fourth or other space agencies compete to make the most powerful rockets in the world I asaro never seemed to care about that just partly out of its rocket launchers they're all humbly named satellite launch vehicles different variations indicated by the first letter represent different orbit PSLV from polar synchronous orbit and GSLV for Kiehl's can compare to the American lab laboratory of help at matok I sorrow is the second clue is in its vehicle design if you take a closer look at is our rocket evolution it looks almost like SpaceX the only difference is that is ro has a more stable financial support from the Indian government and SpaceX had none but in terms of the approach to design launch vehicles both organizations are very similar SLB and aslv was initiated in the 1980s and ASL B's capability is similar to that of Falcon one the three versions of PSLV s have similar capabilities comparing to early versions of Falcon 9 and the GSLV has capability someone catching on to Falcon 9 block 5 none of them could be classified as a super heavy lift launch vehicle but Falcon Heavy and section 5 but they're all super reliable and most importantly very cost effective what's more impressive about the evolution of bias are as launch vehicles is their adaptability take PSLV as an example it has three versions PSLV CA which stands for core alone stand a PSLV and pslv-xl where all of them focus on polar synchronous orbit which is around 600 kilometers altitude customers can choose which variations of vehicles to use based on the size of the set light this is the beauty of a cost-effective launcher furthermore because of its focus on cost effectiveness aya sorrow also has to come up with brilliant engineering solutions to the problems it faces when famous example is its experimental mission to Mars on top of being the only successful Mars mission on the first try I sorrow had to perform six orbit raising manoeuvres over three weeks before heading to Mars because the vehicle does not have enough power like the Falcon javi to send satellites directly to Mars it slowly raises the satellites orbit before injecting it successfully to heliocentric orbit to Mars the engineering and the problem-solving behind it is truly a helipad this I think captures the sense Oh success as the founding father of I sorrow Vikram used to say there are some who question the relevance of space activities in the developing nation to us there's no ambiguity of purpose we do not have the fantasy of competing with economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or men's spaceflight but we're convinced that if we're to play a meaningful role nationally and in the community of nations we must be second to none in the applications of advanced technologies to the real problems of men in a society I think this is the key to understand the highest auro stands for and how it differs from other space agencies and companies this is also why I said at the beginning it is really hard to pigeonhole I sorrow it didn't have the funding that NASA had it didn't have the start of mindset an institution that SpaceX had but none of this stopped ISRO from doing something extraordinary this just come to show how important passion and dedication is for any organization you know talking about ISRO makes me really happy because it's clearly made out of people who are passionate and dedicated and above all an institution that encourages it looking forward into the future I think I asaro will continue to do great things it's setting our performance first men mission in 2022 I'd say good luck - hi sorrow before I published this video one of my viewers send me this picture can you believe it in the early days engineers of AI sorrow had to send rocket parts with their bicycles to sending them for testing this is the situation that had to deal with every single day they don't have resources you do have is passion and dedication yeah they only achieved what they did the hard work actually feels so inspired that picture almost brought tears to my eyes because I'm just like golly can you imagine no I mean when there's a will there's a way as all I can say almost bricks my head thinking about that they're moving parts on bicycles not trucks that pickup trucks bicycles bicycles that is you're like geeking out right now yeah I'm like how did you I love that obviously the I mean because at the beginning he kind of threw me when he said that and ISRO doesn't have the ambition or the funds I'm like what but this whole video is about them having ambition yeah that threw me off a little bit I think I just misunderstood what he was trying to say in that moment maybe he's talking about maybe like competing right yeah how there's this whole race to see who can do it best basically like they're not concerned with that they're just concerned with the passion of exploring and engineering being at the forefront which is awesome like you would hope that you would want it to be that way if you're gonna be pouring money into something and it doesn't have the audacity to try to compete with these big companies right and so they're like well we're just gonna stay in our lane and be as efficient as we can it's kind of funny that we're not paying more attention to this as Americans because we did the same thing with China where they were efficient making things for cheaper and cheaper and now China's dominating the global economy or if they're about to anyway if they're not already they're already taking over our movies so they're funding so many American films now and that freaks me out they're buying so much real estate in the States they bought so much real estate in Africa because you know they were very efficient now there's all this money and China makes a new billionaire every five days this kind of thing is something to pay attention to when you when you've got a group of people who are finding the most efficient way to construct something when they actually have more money it's gonna it's gonna be yeah saying yeah this is crazy I'm sharing this on this is supercool oh I love it like I'm all about the story of passion right and like sometimes when you're when you're at this place where you kind of have everything you become may be complacent isn't the word I'm not talking about it in the terms of like SpaceX and like NASA and all that stuff but just taking it down to the ground no pun intended that we're talking about space travel but like in life when you kind of have everything you just you're like oh it's whatever but there's always someone yeah it's working to have you have and if you're not appreciative of that they're gonna get there and do it better so like watching it's like I felt so good and inspired because it just showed that there is still a place for genuine curiosity and passion and hard work and perseverance and obviously it's taken them literally to outer space and it's just so cool to see that happen a fraction of the budget yeah that's what blew me away we a lot about our NASA budget and rightly so I feel like we should have more funds directed towards NASA instead of you know increasing our firepower I feel like there's so many places where we could redirect our funds for better use for Humanity NASA is one of those places and so that's why you've got an Elon Musk who's like trying to move this forward but to know that there are people out there who are able to accomplish crazy things like this on like what 1/10 of the budget yeah that hurts my head a much why aren't we doing more already it just but anyway yeah that's super cool this is a great video amazing the information was amazing yeah I had to really like focus like what's going like I know you know more about like this space a lot of it was new for me as well though I was hoping he was gonna compare the names cuz he was talking about how modest the names were for hot second there yeah yeah you're like what rRNA yeah because because I think well he'd mentioned he's on Musk's names which is like Falcon Calgon heavy and whatnot and I forgot what the American names were but like a polo and all that stuff we keep having these names that are like of gods yeah you know and mythology a Greek mythology or like something that's it has epicness in the mountain happy whereas they're like you know the PRV or whatever was like something simple just it's very scientific if you think about it because at a certain point with the Stars we stopped coming up with specific names as just numbers now yeah you know it's just easier yeah it's a lot out there ya know it was a great story and it was something that I probably would have never found on my own thanks for Jobbik away you guys thanks so much for hanging out with us thank you too curious elephant for making this video and allowing us to react to it you guys be sure to check out their channel for more you know cool videos curious elephant there's a link in the description below for this video and then from
