India and NASA to Explore Moon Together

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."

    ...They programmed in kilometers! ...You mean Launch was supposed to be in IST? ...standard a/c input is 220 V? ...Space Shuttle Console is an ASCII game, and navigations were in PSLVconHE?

    Because we never went there in the first place dummy, why do you think there is all this hype to "go back"

    Regardless - I hope the motherfucker blows up and destroys what's left of NASA's credibility in the process. I can think of a lot better ways to spend US tax dollars than on oursourcing the money and years of knowledge to help the Indians along in their space program.

    All you terrorists out there - if you want to really cripple America, you want to hurt the USA in a way that they will never recover from? Destroy all the tech centers in India and you will succeed in your goal. It would be a lot easier, and much more damaging to the US economy giving you a much higher return on investment than the hassle of striking them on US soil.
