India Plans Moon Mission by 2008
LPetrazickis writes "According to the Tribune, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee has announced today that India will send a spacecraft to the moon by 2008. The Chandrayaan-I mission will showcase Indian achievements in science and technology to the world. Both European and Canadian Space Agencies have shown interest in the mission. SifyNews reports that 2008 was initially mispronounced as 1908. Today is the 56th anniversary of India's independence." Previous talk about this has come from the Indian space agency; this announcement from the Prime Minister seems to have more weight.
for Indian-kind, while 80% of the population is starving. Also known as the world's greatest democratic, idiocracy.
They need to feed their people first. A trip to the moon is a huge waste of money.
For what the average Indian earns in one year, well, a moon trip could feed millions of their people for a year and well at that.
Just plain stupid. Besides, what the fsck do they need to go there for anyway??
There's NO benefit in it for them as a country or as a people.
STUPID.. Plain STUPID...
They can just take one of those nuclear weapons from their ongoing cold war with Pakistan, strap it onto a chimp's back and let 'er fly!
Why hurt the innocent chimps when there are so many untouchables available?
Like what I said? You might like my music
And your Slurpees. We definitely wouldn't get a damn thing done without the Slurpees.
Nor do we want one. The only people that want one are the socialists and the gullible fools who believe that socialism will solve their problems.
America still practices the barbaric practice of execution by electric chair
I don't care how we kill the lowest criminals. (i.e. lets say some dude decides to mug a woman on the street for the $20 in her wallet to support his heroin addiction, then casually rapes and shoots her without a second thought.) Stone them, hang them, put them in front of a firing squad. I don't care. If they don't want to be killed in a barbaric way then they shouldn't act like barbarians.
(Don't even get me started on guantanamo bay)
Yeah, I know those terrorists are getting pretty good treatment down there if I say so myself. In my opinion we should fly them to one of Castro's prisons a couple miles down the road and see what kind of treatment they get there.
America's gun crime is the highest per capita of any in the world
Obviously countries that bans guns have lower GUN crime rates. Tell me about our overall crime rate compared to other countries?
America's welfare program is hardly fair
Yes, I should pay more taxes so my hard earned money can be given to someone who:
(a) is too lazy to find a job, or
(b) is too immature to hold a job for more than a week, or
(c) failed to get educated becuase they were too busy jerking off when they were being offered a free education in our public high schools, or
(d) couldn't keep their legs closed or their dick in their pants and now wants to blame me for having to support a family.
That is the only way to be fair according to you communists. I should have known you were a communist.
I wish for one minute that American's would stop pretending they lived in a perfect country, stop dashing off to solve (*cough* create) problems in other countries
Yeah I know. Disband USAID now!!!

Naw, it's gonna be really hard fitting a turban inside a space helmet. I think we're safe for a while longer.
