Indian Moon Mission to Have Landing Component

Posted by michael on from the cosmic-curry dept.

Anil Kandangath writes "Last month, it was announced that the Indian moon mission Chandrayan I would have a component that would land on the moon to function as an impactor. For all those who complain about India spending big bucks on its space program, The Scientific Indian has a list of updates about the space program's plans for this year which includes two cartography satellites, a satellite based 'total disaster management system', a few communication satellites and a satellite launch for the European Union."

    How about putting the big bucks to help your own people?

    The specific areas of study for India's moon mission listed here seem not to be aiming to do anything that has not been attempted or studied in detail in the past.
    Therefore the arguement that the money being spent is for scientific advancement doesnt hold.

    Like whom?...like George (no brains) W. Bush and his sycophants? Good job :-)

    I just got done saying that I'd vote for the best person for the job. That means that I did not vote for Bush.
