Now before some socialist in disguise on FR comments that India should spend this money on the poor instead, let me tell them beforehand that such projects inspire the minds of millions of Indian kids to aspire for more, and you can't put a price on that. Besides about $20 million isn't much for a country the size of India.

The moon could use a 7-11.

India has always been loaded with poor people but it's also loaded with highly educated people. I think an Indian mission is a good idea.

He says he's already been to the moon.
Says he coined the phrase "One small step for a man, one great leap for mankind."
I believe him.

The moon could use a 7-11.You know why Indian people have a dot on their head?
It's a scratch-off game to see if they won a 7-11.

I am sure the Borg will file a copyright lawsuit and have the mission stopped, John Edwards is currently unemployed so he can take the case.

A change of coat of the paint on this rocket, and a more accurate controller already used in Indian missiles pointed at China, and this will be India's first ICBM with a 18000+ kilometre range.

Hello, my name is Singh...may I have the serial number from your Dell computer please?By the way, I've had the occasion to call Dell's support line quite a few times in the last 2 months. Of course, all I got were Indians. I'd blow their cover, first: "What's your REAL name, don't give me this 'Shirley from Arkansas' stuff", and once they gave me thier real name, the call would proceed.
In all but one case I found them to be capable and effective. One fellow I couldn't understand well, but he'll get a pass. One fellow, however -- the one I give a failing grade to -- promised to accomplish something, then didn't.
But on the whole, those Indians weren't too bad.

mini-synthetic aperture radar and spectometre with 0.3 micron to 0.9 micron capabilities. That is just too cool. :-)

India has been building satellite launch vehicles for over 20 years -LONG Before American jobs came there & foreign assistance primarily came from the USSR/Russia.The transition from a SLV to an ICBM is not exactly impossible & there are 3 nations(India,Israel & Japan) which can do that in a jiffy.
