India and US to Cooperate in Space Exploration

Posted by Zonk on from the friends-offworld-and-on dept.

p1234 writes "India and the US plan to cooperate in the exploration and use of outer space. India's first mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-1, is scheduled to be launched later this year. This is the culmination of long-term planning on both sides of the Atlantic. Apart from India's moon mission, Nair said a probe of Mars by India was very much on the agenda.'Our scientific community would like to see what new things we can find. It is not just for the sake of sending a probe to Mars. Yes, we have an agenda by 2012, by then we should have a Mars mission.'"

    Oil is a fungible resource. If Iran won't sell to them, someone else will.

    How dare you accuse other countries of infecting our oil with mold!
