India Plans Its Own Moon Shot

anzha writes: "CNN is reporting that India is planning an unmanned mission to Luna in 2007. The US, Russia (when it was the USSR), and Japan are the only nations to have done so, or so they say. For some reason, I thought that ESA, the European Space Agency, had sent one also. At any rate, while I'd like to see the Stars and Stripes posted all over the galaxy, more competition is better! So, all I have to say is, 'Go, India! Go!'" I wonder if China is still on track for 2005.

    With due respect, India has a large and growing middle class, a democratic form of government, and a growing economy which is begining to bring improvements at all levels of society.

    Why don't you check your facts next time before posting?
