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.

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.

NASA interested in Indian moon missionContact this man.
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.

India, the World's Largest Democracy, is more interested in space development than is any other country, especially the USA. While NASA dominates space science, the average American could care less. If someone actually begins space development, it will probably be India or
China.

Bully for India! I'm glad to see emerging nations like India flex their technological muscles. I only wish that we had better relations with them. We're natural allies and have the same long-term enemy (as long as China remains communist, that is).
