If you can launch an ICBM, then you can probably put a human being into orbit. As the Russians found out, whether you can get him/her down again without frying them, or indeed having them disappear into deep space is another matter.
Considering that we’re paying for it through the DfID, I should bloody well hope so.

Considering the state their country is in and the evil dickheadery of their gubmints War on Cash the Indians have a lot more needs sorting out before they get around to space travel.
Lets hope the crew that went top America on the H1B scam didn’t do the coding before they left.

Well, it’s an unholy alliance of mismatched fuels but it worked.
While I’d prefer to see private Indian companies providing the launch services at least Indian consumers are getting an upgrade in satellite coverage. Hopefully this sparks growth similar to that which cell phones provided for fishermen.
Well, catastrophic failure of the 1st stage would have them not getting to space. Hopefully won’t happen.
One small step for man, one giant leaping for the mankinds.
