They could do it just like the ruskis, just never get them back home after the crash landing.

Looks just like the ones we’ve been taking for decades, except for the little “©China, 2007.”How do we know they didn’t just copy one of ours?
Why...tsk...tsk...tsk...the very idea...!
P.S. (GMTA. That was my first thought too.)

OK. if the Indians put someone on the moon, it means their technology will be way ahead of, well, someone elses. Does this mean we get our call centers back. I mean “Paul” wont want to work in tech support, if he can be in Moon support.

You'll find Chinese working the tables and the front register.
But odds are, they'll be speaking Spanish back in the kitchen.

Looks like a close-up of hillary’s eyebrows.
As long as it ain't a closeup of one of her thighs.

The picture is satisfying... but I kinda wanted another one an hour later.

One picture? What’s the matter, problem with the forward advance lever?

India’s space programme is heavily tilted towards satellite technology: Remote sensing, weather telemetry and the like.
I’d like to see how China’s version of the same compares with India’s.

China has far more weather and communication satellites launched than India.

China has far more weather and communication satellites launched than India. Where did you get this information from?

In Asia, South Korea has pursued a program resembling that of Orbital Imaging. That country started in 1992 and 1993 with two small spacecraft, each weighing about a hundred pounds. The program, called Uribyol or Our Star, has doubled its weight with its third satellite, which flew in 1999. This project is important; it shows how small a remote-sensing spacecraft can be while still returning useful data.
Moreover, China and India have not only built their own remote-sensing craft but have orbited them using their own launch vehicles. The Indian Remote Sensing program has been particularly active, flying its first spacecraft in 1988, aboard a Soviet rocket and continuing since 1994 with India's own Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. The newest craft, called Oceansat, flew in 1999, and only a few months later, surveyed the damage done by a powerful typhoon.
China has entered this field more recently, but its Ziyuan craft flew successfully in 1999 and 2000. In contrast to the lightweight satellites of South Korea, these tip the scale at more than a ton and a half. Both reached orbit aboard a new rocket of the Chinese-built Long March series.

The Chi-Coms have just demonstrated their ability to launch nuclear warheads with pinpoint accuracy. So now we better put another of their representatives back in the Whitehouse, or else.
Hail Hitlerly! /sarc>
