Eight months back, three scientists from ISRO did an AMA on /r/india where they answered a lot of interesting questions and provided good insights into the good, the bad, the hopes and the struggles at ISRO and of being a scientist in India. That AMA will likely answer many of the questions here about ISRO and its operations. For instance: "All nations wanting to launch to Low Earth Orbits at low costs approach us. Germany, France, Israel, Norway, Denmark, Italy are examples. Yes, despite ESA. Because PSLV is a cost effective and reliable launch vehicle for launching to LEOs." And of course, Reddit being what it is, there were cute questions and answers as well. Sample: Qn: "Let's face it. You're definitely "cool" now. Were you "cool" growing up? How was your school/college life in general? Do women dig ISRO scientists?" Scientist 1: "Oh yes, cool all the way. I don't know about other scientists but they sure dig me." Scientist 2: "He's kidding. I know for a fact that he is more single than Lance Armstrong's nut."
