India plans to have its own space station by 2035 and is also eyeing deep space missions, human space flights, cargo missions and putting multiple communication satellites into orbit at the same time

Why are countries still persuing space stations? We need to establish bases on rocky bodies (moons, planets and asteroids). Space stations are yesterday's tech.

What a waste of money considering the planet is dying rapidly.

Maybe India could finish cleaning the mess they did with the anti-satellite missile detonations of 2019, before sending more junk up there...?

Perhaps first India should save 600 million of its population from poverty

There is still so much to learn about life in microgravity. And living in Orbital space stations isn’t going anywhere. If you are thinking long long term it’s more likely we’ll be disassembling planets to produce O’Neill Cylinders since planets are an inefficient use of matter.

Information isn't shared as freely as people think. A nation having its own space station goes a long way in studying the effects of space on individuals and trialing ways to sustain operations over the long term on other planets / moons.
