Communicating my ideas
One of the things that I learnt at the meeting at ISRO Bangalore is how I lack the idea of communicating what I am doing to a group of people who may or may not know about space. In the end, it all comes down to communication.
The bad part is I get only one chance.
A guy to whom I tried to explain what being in SEDS entailed and who was not interested in it is not likely to listen to me a second time when I know a bit more and have a clearer picture of what I am saying than when I said it before. He's already created a block against space thinking of it as very murky water. All thanks to me =(
That has not happened yet and I hope it never will. It is one of the worries that a person who is trying to start a SEDS chapter might face. Startup fear?
I am thinking about this and I am also simultaneously trying to solve this problem. But, my solving this problem won't help others besides people in India since every country has a different outlook on space. India uses space as a means of self-reliance and telecommunications. We don't want to rely on NASA pictures all the time :).
