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?

      Very wrong. If you will check the specs of your own space program, really dig you will find that almost every part of it is Western,i.e. White, technology. You are not even capable of launching it yourself, that job falls to the European Union to do it for you. It is a widely known fact that members of the dark skinned races, Asian sub content and Africa, can't really do anything inventive on their own with out Western help. Sure you may change some here and there but it's really all technology that you have bought, stolen, or borrowed from your White counterparts.

      Even this space moon mission is old news. Western races, White races, did it 40 years ago. Now we are landing rovers on Mars and putting them in orbit around Saturn. When you can do that own your own, design, build, and launch with out Western help then you will have something. But till then this is just another case of monkey see, monkey do.

    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.
