Sir, no heartburn for me , whatever ISRO is good or bad i always wished them the best.
Regarding the "really high pitched whines" , no such intentions to go on a high pitch. It was a simple suggestion that what's wrong in developing technologies.
Tell me Sir, would the reaction to my post been the same if i had suggested upgrading the S-140 to S-200 for MK.3 . I think not .
In India, when you go to a wedding, you don't compliment the beautiful bride with reminders of her past diaper rashes, do we? Your posts till now has way too many put downs about to list.
As for you upgrade suggestions or "what is wrong in developing technologies?" kind of wide-eyed questions, it wont matter even if anyone here explains in detail about "why we cant", because you don't care enough to think of budget allocations (we were not always rich) or prioritization (selecting the most bang for Indian public's meager buck). To give a perspective on budget allocation struggles, a PSLV mission, that you pooh-pooh as "old stuff from '93", that gets cancelled, can open a few primary health care centers that saves a few hundred lives over a 20 year period. But still we persist with these launches, because the humble PSLV that you demean, is a vital pillar of India's heavily debated, but heartily supported space policy.
As for condescending "No Cryo or Semi-Cryo, and these tech are from the 60's and 70's right", all fundamental blocks of modern space tech are from the 1930s (Peenemunde and beyond), so what is your fricking point, other than condescension, dhiraj? Except for newer mission computers and sensor miniaturization, the core engineering has not changed, except for incremental tweaks. The last jump in tech at a system level was in the 70s, from ablatives to reusable thermal tiles, which is also more of an incremental one.
But you are not caring to delve a bit more into the history of each block of a launch vehicle, than wave your hand imperiously and order a "semi-cryo pronto".
