Is there a 800 number to a call center if something goes wrong? This is a country where millions do not have basic infrastructure but they blow money on sending someone to space.

but confirmed the cosmonauts could be men or women. How very uninclusive of them...

The space station people will be so pleased to finally be able to go out on the shuttle and get a quick pair of taquitos and a squishy.

India has yet to select the astronauts that will travel aboard the ship, but confirmed the cosmonauts could be men or women.Am I correct that cosmonauts come from Russia, and astronauts from the first world? I think Indian space travelers would be kasamanauts, from the Hindi term kasamas, but that's speculation on my part.
In any case, I wish them well.

India seems to be making nice progress towards a fully reusable launch stack. They will probably be second after Spacex.

We should put a stop to them entering space. Shut the program down, send Indians home to fix and clean up that filthy and violent country. Don’t understand why we didn’t maintain sanctions after they started testing and building nuclear weapons. Our US dollars has made a future enemy, put a stop to them now.

Tell China that India called Xi Winnie the Pooh and let those two suckholes fight it out.

You raise an excellent point.
With so many people in India living in dire poverty this decision is not going to be universally popular.

Russia and China are also relatively poor countries per capita. Putting a man in orbit is not that difficult for a country that already has a good missile program, as all three do. The question is to what purpose? Manned spaceflight has largely been a waste of money. The ISS is winding down. The moon is old news. Going to Mars is a suicide mission.
