A large percentage of NASA scientists are indians. Vast majority of the people are backwards and stupid, but there's a percentage who are capable of world-class science. Sort of like how its usually the Jews in a few countries which are Nobel-tier.

The US has been actively flying these since the early 2000s.

But the US and the USSR tested these as far back as the late 1960s and 70s.

There aren't a great many uses for them unless you are very good at miniaturizing sensors and posses highly advanced propulsion technology.

Both of which the USAF apparently had developed because they are now working on version 2.0 of this thing.

That's strange. Has there been a change recently on the ITAR laws?

Since when is NASA allowed to hire foreigner nationals in such numbers to make up a "large percentage" of its worker base?

It's an unachievable dream until at least the next century desü.

That's why these reusable gliders were and are still mostly ignored by the scientific community.

The Venture Star was the only real attempt to actually build an SSTO craft like the ones we see in movies. But as history showed, the tech is just not there.

SpaceX has no plans to make reusable gliders.

Rockets are a far superior option for now.

Sierra Nevada is the one making a reusable glider. They've been working on it for a while.

ESA and JAXA have considered contracting them for trips to the ISS. But again, capsules are just a better choice.

Until real space planes are developed, these gliders won't do much.

>India send a probe around Mars with something like 80M $

Go take a look a the science being produced by NASA and ESA probes and compare it to Indias probe results.

Getting there is one thing, sending a real scientific payload is another.

Also Japan has done far more complex things in space, like collecting dust from comets and rescuing probes in deep space. Something the ESA was unable to do.

>Skylon

Supposedly their tech CAN be used to make an SSTO plane, but it comes with so many caveats that it's not going to replace capsules.

The economics of it don't make sense. The company has no plans of selling skylon, so clients can only borrow it.

It's max payload to orbit and polar orbit are fairly average. Nothing special that wouldn't be cheaper with a rocket.

Also, the company apparently needs over 12 billion dollars to get to a point where they can start taking clients.

For perspective, SpaxeX, after all these years of tech development, investment and getting some massive contracts, is worth about 5 billion.

Landis has proposed aerostat habitats followed by floating cities, based on the concept that breathable air (21:79 oxygen/nitrogen mixture) is a lifting gas in the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, with over 60% of the lifting power that helium has on Earth.[6] In effect, a balloon full of human-breathable air would sustain itself and extra weight (such as a colony) in midair. At an altitude of 50 kilometres (31 mi) above Venerian surface, the environment is the most Earth-like in the Solar System – a pressure of approximately 1000 hPa and temperatures in the 0 to 50 °C (273 to 323 K; 32 to 122 °F) range. Protection against cosmic radiation would be provided by the atmosphere above, with shielding mass equivalent to Earth's.

Literally stick a baloon in the air.
And no, there's nothing to puncture it, if they have some isolation, and even if it is, it's gonna slowly leak out, not explosively decompress.

True, India is such a clusterfuck even without the whole poverty thing so it is impressive I guess.

Well to be fair I think india has the potential to become a great country in terms of research, but right now there are many social issues and problems with poverty that are not letting it progress as a whole. Would be great if your country would be the country that makes the affordable solar powered vehicles or something become mainstream. I'm a man of science and science is the future.
