MOM is a technology demonstrator, it isn't designed to really push the boundaries of our understanding of Mars. It's primary mission objective was just to prove that they could get to Mars and manage the mission. MAVEN is designed to expand our understanding of Martian atmospheric loss using cutting edge technology, including the most powerful ultraviolet spectrograph ever sent to another planet, a small and efficient quadrupole mass spectrometer (only 8.8 kg in mass and pulling only 22.6 watts), and other specialized instruments. They're really apples and oranges. One is a Nokia 2600, the other is next year's Samsung Galaxy S6. http://www.quora.com/How-did-ISRO-conduct-a-Mars-mission-with-a-much-lower-budget-than-NASA [/quote] Hi Doctor....so is this like saying in laymen terms that the Iphone 6 is better than the 5 so if you have the 5 your in a wilderness of darkness you just need the 6 to finally be awakened? [/quote] No, it's like saying that the NASA probe is more advanced and has more equipment on board to carry out more experiments, and therefore it's not surprisingly also more expensive. Just saying 'this probe is more expensive than that probe so [i]clearly[/i] it's a waste of money' is stupid. Might as well mock a professional photographer for buying an expensive camera to use rather than just using the camera on his phone. [/quote] :bc this: [/quote] Is it possible in the USA to find out where exactly the money was spent and on what? [/quote] Yes. [/quote]

NASA has released data showing that they expect at least 400 asteroid impacts on Earth between 2017 and 2113. Although most of the rocks have a diameter of 110 yards or less they have warned about a colossus that’s heading our way. The mega asteroid will encounter Earth in 2020. [
