Now that China has launched its Tiangong-1 ("Heavenly Palace") space station, India is saying there is no space race, rather than admitting it's falling behind.
Meanwhile, private space enterprise SpaceX has announced its intention to test and build a reusable launch system.
Given India's stated cost sensitivities, I think India should consider imitating the SpaceX reusable design concept, which Musk claims will reduce the cost per launch. You can see Musk's full hour-long press conference here.
