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?"
I'm sure our own government will decide that we should outsource NASA to india because it's cheaper. Forget american jobs and pride, this is the all mighty dollar.
I vote that we outsource the government to India.

if india did that nothing would work. I have my resources. if you go to http://www.freewebs.com/identitychicken/ (which is a very reliable site btw), it gives DETAILED information on why this is bull. go check it out. you'll be impressed. Im a brain surgan, so I know a lot about this stuff. They people who are doing this, have no idea what their doing. Why would they do that? They dont even have adaquite technology and brains to get the job done depending on how you look at the situation (btw when I look at it thats what I think). Again, heres the site, and feel free to comment on any untrue information posted there. http://www.freewebs.com/identitychicken/
....that India has about a billion poor, illiterate and starving people -- not to mention an ancient infrastructure and horrible pollution -- I think the Indians can think of a few million BETTER ideas to waste money on. This is asinine.
I've been there and seen the country, so I know what I am talking about.
