Indian Robot Will Capture Space Debris

CowboyRobot writes "India is set to launch the 'Space Robot', which, controlled from Earth, will capture damaged satellites and space debris. This seems a less ambitious, and more immediately practical venture than the current Mars missions."

Indian robot? by ivanmarsh · 2003-12-17 08:27 · Score: 0, Flamebait

I suppose this robot replaced an American robot for a 10th the price and does the job a 10th as well?

(This is a jab at American companies who show no loyalty to their country while demanding it from their workers, not a jab a India. Who's food I absolutely love... MMMmmmm curry. Just in case anyone wants to get up in arms about it.)
