With Chandrayaan-I less than half way (1, 64, 600 km) to its rendezvous with the Moon, Indian space establishmentâs credentials seem good enough for job inquiries from scientists from around the world. âI have got 10 to 12 (emails),â Chandrayaan project director Dr M Annadurai told the Hindustan Times, adding, âand am sure some of my bosses have also got such mails.â And all these came after the Chandrayaan launch. These feelers are mostly from scientists of USâs National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA). They want to work for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). âThere are some Indians who want to come back home,â said Annadurai, âbut there are also citizens of other countries working for NASA and ESA who have mailed enquiries about openings at various levels in ISRO.â And, he says, they were willing to take huge salary cuts, because ISRO doesnât pay as much as their current employers, despite the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission. Senior scientists like Dr. Krishnaswamy Kasturirangan, the former ISRO Chairman, are not surprised. In fact, he did perceive an âinspirational impactâ when he planned the Moon mission. http://www.hindustantimes.com/Story...f6b&&Headline=NASA+pros+send+resumes+to+India
Dude, Are you trying to imply in any way that India is an attractive job market for talented individuals. The answer is : NO The US landed on the moon, when was that exactly, umm, let me remember, 40 years ago. Thank you India should feed its people and launch gov program dealing with sex ed , instead of having a space program....
