India and NASA to Explore Moon Together

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everybody-has-an-angle dept.

hotsauce writes "NASA administrator Griffin on a visit to Indian space facilities in Bangalore has signed an agreement to explore the moon with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This agreement will see NASA instruments on a 2008 Indian moon mission, and further cooperation is being explored. An Indian paper has a different take on the visit. Interesting answer by Griffin on NASA outsourcing to ISRO."

    ...received from my Crystal Ball(TM):

    "New Delhi, we have a problem."
    "Thank you for calling Mission Control. May I be having your name, address, and current software version please?"
    "The software has locked us out. We need you to make a course correction in exactly 20 seconds!"
    "Certainly sir. If I could just be having your license number please."
    "License number?! Just fire thrusters 2 and 3 for 4.5 seconds on my mark!"
    "You're Mark? Thank you for giving me your name, but I am needing your license code too please."
    "Our license number is going to be 3-D-E-A-D-G-U-Y-S if you don't fire the thrusters in--5 seconds!"
    "If this is an emergency request, please be giving me your express service code."
    "Express... Hey Buzz, crack the main hatch open for 5 seconds on my mark... NOW! We'll have to hope this works."
    "I'm sorry sir, but it appears you have voided your warranty. Please be having a nice day."[click]
