Agree that other peoples should not be discounted, but eight years is stretching it. Does India have the potential to be a spacefaring nation? It seems that India can be. But as of this moment, they aren't at the level that a successful round trip to and from the Moon is very plausible in less than a decade.

But were we there in the 60s?

I doubt that the Indians will be landing a man on the Moon in eight years, but never underestimate a determined culture to do the “impossible.”

I only wish we were still a determined culture. (sigh)
