Ping.
That’s where they are going to send all that poop from the sidewalks.
(Make India Great Again)
It should have been shot down. How much of the technology was stolen from the US? We should not let our enemies succeed on our backs.
[[It will travel for two months, before positioning itself in a circular orbit 62 miles (100km) above the moon’s surface.]]
“Hey Mugsy, take the scenic route.”
... We should not let our enemies succeed on our backs.
India... Seriously?
Travel for two MONTHS?? I wanna see THAT orbital track. Talk about "takin' the long way 'round".
They were on BBC bragging how cheap the mission is ,D’oh
Well, India is actually one of our allies, not an enemy.
Besides, I think we can afford to let technology that is 50 years old slip out of our hands at some point.
I wish India great success in this attempt. A lot of very smart people in that nation.
Yes, absolutely. They are invading us via H1B, they steal our technology, and they are definitely not our friends. They will turn on us as quickly as others if it serves their purpose. Trump had promised to cut them off if they did not take deportees back, latest I saw on this is they still don’t and we continue to give in to them. Look how we built up China and see how that worked out. India is no different. They are a 3rd world cesspool of tribal violence and backward culture, now with nuclear weapons and a space program, their citizens invading and overrunning the US.
Stolen?
Enemies?
Since when is 50yo mundane public-domain tech “stolen”?
Since when is India an “enemy”?
I too applaud their efforts and successes.
The solar system is bigger than nations.
The pathway to the moon utilizing orbital motion
is the most economical way to do it, yet it still
requires 10 engine burns, not a bad trick if you
can pull it off.
The ISRO has an enviable record.
Jai Hind!
They’re our enemy?
I predict hard landing on the moon.
You are confusing India with China. They are two different countries.
At least they can understand tech support.
They are two peas in a pod. India, with its tribal history is a more growing threat than China, but both are. All India is for us at the moment is a source of cheap labor. That is all.
It is. They are also carrying an instrument for NASA to the moon - delivery “outsourced” to India if you will.
