Asia's Space Race: China vs. India
securitas writes "London-based military historian and commentator Gwynne Dyer writes about Asia's developing space race with plans from China and India to land people on the Moon, previously mentioned on Slashdot in China's case. In April India announced it will send an unmanned probe to the Moon by 2005 and a manned mission by 2015. Critics say it's a waste of time and money for India to pursue the goal. Meanwhile, Russian space experts are quietly helping China in what is seen as a growing alliance and a somewhat alarmist op-ed piece from the Washington Times worries about China's 21st century space dominance and monopolization of strategic resources like H3, used in nuclear fusion."
Nuclear war on the moon.

We must rape the forums on the ph34rb33r website, in order to deride them, and insult their lame excuse for a 'webcomic'. There are minimal forum rules in place to stop trolls over there, such as a 20 second delay until another post can be done. Obviously, this allows you to refresh the page once the 20 seconds is up, and then resend the data, so that it will be reposted. The forum in question also has image posting capabilities, allowing you to use the explicit material contained upon rotten.com and goatse.cx. In addition to all this lack of troll-protection, the forum actually allows anonymous postings! Members of TrollKore have already trolled their forums multiple times, with crapfloods and the posting of sexual imagery. The posts were deleted after around an hour, but I believe that we have put a small dint in their weak ego. Ah, did I say 'their'? I meant 'his', since he is the only one that runs the webcomic, and has no friends.
A sample of the offending content is here. Please note how the webcomic is fucking lame and unfunny, and its very existence needing to be eradicated from the Internet. Also note how the comic looks as if it was drawn by a small child (and probably was). THE INTERNET IS NO PLACE FOR A SMALL CHILD, LET ME TELL YOU, GOOD SIR! At present, this is more important than meer Slashdot, fellow trolls. You now troll for FREEDOM, FREEDOM FROM AN INTERNET WITHOUT LAMENESS FROM SUCH TWATS.
I ask you this... if the forum could be down by tomorrow, isn't that worth trolling for? ISN'T THAT WORTH CRAPFLOODING FOR?!?
I plead to you, fellow troll, this fucking LOSER has to be revealed for the motherfucker he really is.
Thank you.
TrollKore out.

since the claimed one of USA was a lie
I wonder if they will actually LAND on the moon. According to a LOT of people, Armstrong & Co. did not! Some of the pictures are pretty convincing! Though I am not entirely sure that I am conviced myself ;)
Also the matter of cosmic radiation etc... Interesting, interesting!
Any technology distinguishable from magic, is insufficiently advanced.
Yet they want to join the superpowers of the world in the 21st century. India really has bigger problems too worry about then putting a man on the moon. Any intelligent person should not look respectfully at India as a country until the caste system is snuffed out in every form. Not just in the symbolic laws that were put in the books.
Where the Music Matters
In a land where the poor outnumber the rich and there is no middle class, what logical step is next but....A SPACE PROGRAM OFCOARSE. Why didnt I think of it?
This is what they all meant by "Just get over it..."
Check back with me in 2015, and see if the handwriting wan't all over the walls by 2001, for those with eyes to see.
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
Here is my view of what our leaders are thinking...
Rumsfeld: "Yes senator, I realize that the Chinese may acheive superiority in manned spaceflight. But that is irrelevant, because we still have the firepower to blow them up."
Ashcroft: "Instead of learning from their space program, we plan on taking ideas from their 1980s social agendas. The USA Patriot act 2015, plans on monitoring actual human thought with brain implants!"
Bush: "Space Program!? Nah, lets spend our money launching million dollar cruise missiles at people living in caves."
"I am an Indian"
I am not, but I love your people and culture.
First of all, I think your culture is fantastic. I think your love of the open plains is wonderful. How you hunt buffalo and use it to make all sorts of stuff.
I love when you call corn "Maize".
I like the feathers on the chief's head.
And a women with red skin is so frickin' sexy, I could spooge just thinking about it.
And I can speak and write Indian:
"Ugh. Heap big pale-face take land and they use words which are not true. They pay us with wampum for our treasure, which cannot be bought with wampum".
I'm sorry we've put you in reservations, but the Cherokee nation will return. will return. will return.
