For example, ISRO’s $680 million last year and $1 billion this year versus the $490 million that NASA received in 1958 and $1.8 billion that NASA received in 1959 (in today’s dollars).

It’s also interesting that the ISRO budget is going up $319 million but only a tenth of that is going to the new human space flight effort.

ISRO’s budget is growing like NASA’s early budget, but not nearly as much of ISRO’s budget is going to human space flight. If the trends continue, ISRO will grow some impressive capabilities, but not in human space flight.

FWIW…
