UK Seeks Stronger Partnership In Space Technology With India
tanujt writes "David Willett, British minister for Universities and Sciences has called for a stronger partnership between Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and UK's space program. As of now, Willetts invited ISRO to partner the UK in its TechDemoSat program. TechDemoSat is an industry-led technology demonstration satellite which aims to provide a low-Earth-orbit test bed to help demonstrate the technical maturity and commercial viability of innovative new space technology. TK Alex, director of ISRO Satellite Centre, invited the UK to partner India in training space scientists through academic exchanges between the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing and leading UK universities. This follows US President Obama's recent visit to India, wherein he signaled ending the ban on high-end technology exports and removal of Indian organizations, including ISRO and Defense Research & Development Organization (DRDO), from the Entity List."

India 'as-is' wouldn't survive in the trekkie 'communist' utopia of a future as it's still mostly an religion-ridden oligarchy
Not stinking, or stinking less than the Earthian average, is what's most important for morale on a long-term close-quarters voyage. Indians would not qualify for that reason alone. Even space-buzzards are knocked off of their astro-shitwagons by the stench. And stink is not supposed to propogate in a vaccuum.
