Planning Phase Complete For Indian Moon Mission

Posted by timothy on from the good-luck dept.

alphakappa writes "According to news reports, India's low-cost moon mission -- Chandrayan -- has completed its planning phase and will be deployed in 2007-2008 as planned. The interesting aspect is that the entire mission is expected to cost only around USD 88 million. How do you think space technology will change as a result of these low cost missions, satellites and space vehicles?"

    I already have a job but I'm looking for a gf if any ladies are reading this in Perth West Australia. I am not pathetic.

    Sorry for the off the subject reply, but looking for a girlfriend on Slashdot, in a tagline, is indeed pathetic...

    Very pathetic... Get a life man!

    p.s. The girls that you would want to date are the ones that won't reply to your announcement -- go out and find them... Yes, in public.

    It was an attempt to be funny...

    > I don't know how often I've heard the urban legend
    > that Teflon was somehow related to space research

    Even if it was.
    The comment was more to show the discrepancy between inpout (xxxE9 $$$) and the supposed output (non-burn-in pans).

    Cheers,
