India Debating Manned Space Flight

alphakappa writes "India's moon mission and other space programs have been covered before on Slashdot. India is now debating sending a manned space mission and has acknowledged it's technological preparedness to do so in the next 6-7 years if given the go-ahead. The issues being debated before starting work on the mission include cost-benefit and other space priorities. (These missions also play host to international experiments) What does the general slashdot crowd think of these space plans?"

Exactly. Are you trying to make a point? Bush made it very clear he wanted to take Iraq out BEFORE they became an imminent threat. Which part of his State of the Union speech where he explicitly said that did you not understand?

Wikipedia is probably the most unreliable source for information you can find. Try looking something up in a reputable source, instead.
