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.
They're just shipping their people off this planet.
i agree they defanitely suck
thousands of people in india die of hunger..and they're planning to go to moon?!... dumb fucks
Nobody cares what India does. They are just cheap labor for EU, US, AU and CA. (in that order)

gandhi sucked
for Indian-kind, while 80% of the population is starving. Also known as the world's greatest democratic, idiocracy.
How about you abolish the Bubonic Plague first, then start collecting moon rocks.
"On the moon, Indians get their pants pulled down and they are spanked with moon rocks!"
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...

New record breaking moon crater
Seven hours before its scheduled moon landing, the Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-I experienced a failure in one of the primary oxygen tanks.
Experts speculate that an improvised CO2 filter could have been developed to give the indunauts enough time to return safely to Earth, but unfortunately Indian tech support was too busy with American clients. Four hours later, the indunauts were dead.
Unwilling to accept total loss, the IASA decided to ssh over to the navicomputer and fire all thrusters toward the moon. The resulting impact created the largest artificial moon crater to date, 60 meters in diameter and approximately 200 meters deep.

Your language suggests that you are a US citizen(What else could you talk about, even your president...) As far as IT jobs r concerned your country shall colapse with a groan by 2020, thats a promise. I bet u r weak at geography, niggers r found in US not India. Infact USA was inhabited by niggers! Americans are not worthy of IT jobs (they r busy fucking their mom most of the time).
Your country moves on our technitians, our technology and our money. Fuck ur mom. Good day.
It's a good feeling to know that the fine proud and proper Brahmins in Delhi feel no sense of responsibility at all for the helping the hundreds of thousands of the poorest, most hopeless, most destitute people in the world begging on the streets of Calcutta.
They're untouchables. Who gives a shit about them? It's not like they're real people or anything. You know? They're just pollution for the higher classes, that is, if you bother to acknowledge them as real people. Which they're not.
That is probably the most sarcastic paragraph I've ever written. I can't even think of a followup to it that would do it justice.
Like what I said? You might like my music
Now, I don't have anything particular about India - I'd say this about any country. More countries having nuclear ICBM capability is simply not a recipe for world peace.
I don't know that it's such a good thing for the most xenophobic, racist, and elitist society in history to have the ability to destroy the world all by themselves. What are we gonna do if they decide that us westerners are just a bunch of untouchables?
Put it this way: Do you want the KKK to have nukes and ICBM capabilities?
Like what I said? You might like my music
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.
Flamebait? Jeez, looks like Mr. Grumpypants mod woke up on the wrong side of the bed with a rusty water tower crammed up his ass. Now this post, on the other hand, I'll happily accept a flamebait on.
I bet they're trying to put Osama up there to blow up the moon. That would fuck us all up.
Or where temples have monks feeding milk to swarms of rats in the middle of cities where people drop like flies from disease merrily carried by the same rats?
A country with it's head stuck so far into it's religious arse that whenever some people bust their arses differently to make an honest living, but they can't stand their indusriousness, they bully them into submissiveness in order to rape the product of their industry even better.
It's not for nothing that throughout Asia, indians are universally despised.
You really can't blame the Pakistani for not wanting to be associated with such people...
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.
