Mangalyaan - India's Mission Mars

We can pat ourselves for proving and achieving our technical ability by sending rocket to moon (the actual rocket science), but I really don't know if that's going to solve any of the common day to day problems that are plaguing our country. This is like developing a product (especially apt in software / IT industry), without knowing who the end-users are and whether the end-users actually exist. Our ancestors must have done a decent, accurate study about Mars capturing (documenting) through ancient scripts and it is enough we understand them instead of actually trying to debug. I am not trying to say (like may other views) that the money could have been used for some other purpose. I also didn't mean that we should do this after solving the existing problem which can never happen. I am pondering on why we are not thinking how our ancestors were able to predict without telescope and advanced technology like launching rockets? How they were able to design the panjangam by being on Earth? Will a rocket launch to Mars put an end to all scientific quest? It will not stop here and so we will become more dependent on advanced technology to predict movement of even the Sun & Moon. We have already proved our ability by launching Chandrayan. In the world of technology, there is no limit for advancement. It doesn't stop at any stage; that's the problem. Take example of TV and Mobile. We were all contend with CRT based TV watching Chitrahaar, Buniyaad, Malgudi Days; now we have HD 3-D finger touch technology. Its okay to have new technology to some extent. Now Mobiles drive our life; we are lost if we misplace our mobile. How the tribal groups in the Andaman were able to escape the Tsunami whereas we didn't know till the tsunami hit us. The tribal group did not have any advanced machine; they simply used the knowledge, vibrations and calculations to know. Okay, let me put it this way. ISRO is a Govt organization; the Govt can decide to do anything on the operations based on a consensus. If the Govt can allocate money for Chandrayan or Mars Mission and the money is not disturbed and misused, why can't that discipline be brought in other sector? Assume that there will be bribes, commissions for projects in the other sectors, but at least the end-users can be made happy by doing a small bit of work. If the Govt can do NREGA and claim it to be a success, why can't other sectors follow? There are still places without electricity connection, water connection and we are slowly killing our erstwhile backbone of agriculture, but we have to laud ourselves for this technical achievement.
