US/USSR(Russia now) had sent probes to venus, mars and moon for last 30-40 years. but only now we have info on widespread water availability.
maybe sensors have improved, computing power has increased, but ISRO did it indegeniously and using a low cost model, but needed 2 decades to achieve something great.
if humans can share space technology, we could have been couple of decades ahead in space technology
it would be great if we could atleast have a "2020 a space odyssey"

- mercurio 17y agoNot to belittle ISRO's achievement, but the scientific instrument responsible for this was developed by US scientists for NASA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Mineralogy_Mapper http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Mineralogy_Mapper
- euccastro 17y agoMaybe if humans could share space technology we would be decades behind in space technology. US and USSR couldn't share technology because they were racing vs each other. If it weren't for that race, maybe they wouldn't have put the huge effort necessary to send people to space in the 20th century.
