... because "hello world" and landing on the moon are totally the same thing. :doh: The correct answer is, you do not share space rocket technology because it's only a short hop between crashing a TV into the moon and crashing a fistful of warheads into someone's city.

That did not work well with India though, it was only after the world decided not to share their technology with India, we started doing better (or work harder) with our indigenous technologies.

A Ranger probe launched by the US crashed into the Moon in, I believe, 1965 (maybe 1964); this established that they could, in fact, launch a vehicle that could reach the Moon under any condition, and such a launch is considered as a first condition for anyone trying to make it to the Moon. This was long before Grissom, White, and Chaffey burned to death on the launch pad. I can still remember my horror at hearing about it, as I was familiar with both Grissom and White from the Gemini program. Due to the pure oxygen atmosphere in the capsule, which had pushed their blood oxygen to such a high level that they never passed out from smoke inhalation, they survived far, far longer than they should have. The tapes of this horror still exist at NASA headquarters in Houston, locked in a vault to which maybe two people on Earth have access. Your comment was in REALLY, REALLY bad taste. Shame on you.

Did you just compare writing Hello World to crashing a probe into the Moon? I'm impressed. My metaphors and comparisons are often wildly off-base but that, that, takes the cake... or the cheese in this case. As for your point, of which I admit you have one, there is far more to learn from existing NASA data (one more Indian "landing" isn't going to contribute much) and the hardest bits will have already been learned just by getting to the Moon. On second thought this crash is more of a stunt than science. Get a bit of India on the Moon however you can.

They're dead certain that NASA is hoarding all the green cheese and claiming there's nothing there but rocks and dust. India has people to feed, and can't take the chance that NASA may never share the bounty, so they're going to take a peek for themselves.

You have to ask yourself why anyone would think anyone else would horde green cheese. I love me some blue cheese but have been known to, on occasion, refuse to eat it when it has turned green.

U.S. sanctions imposed[^] I was mentioning the 1998 US sanction on India, which virtually prevented any nations to co-operate with India on sensitive technologies.
The ones that were lifted by 1999?

Yes. But if you are saying that the sanction was only for one year, may be you didn't get it. That point was: "try not to depend on other countries", and we got this the very next moment the sanction was imposed.

I thought "no more nuclear tests" was what India got from the sanctions. p.s. India relies on the world and India contributes much to the world. Same with China and Russia and the USA and the EU and Brazil and South Africa and etc. The days of independence are at an end and in most countries are long gone. India

I agree. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7679818.stm[^] India will become the fourth country after the US, Russia and Japan to place its national flag on the lunar surface. Isn't that something that we can tell our kids? We chose Nov 14th for this so called stunt, because it is celebrated as children's day in India. Now the joke part is, China had been around the moon before us, but never thought of placing their flag. ;P

I'm sorry suhredayan but no. A painting of a flag on the side of a probe that crashed into our one and only Moon does not constitute something I'd be proud of telling my kids. I'd happily tell them about the amazing work done to reach orbit around the Moon and the interesting observations the vehicle made while orbiting. But I'd discount the crashing bit and tell my kids that only when they do a soft-landing then we can be proud. (I think only the USA and Russia have done soft-landings. Not sure if ESA did a soft-landing and I haven't found much on the Japanese plans/event.) Anyway. This topic has been done to death now. I don't like shit being crashed into the Moon and people claiming some kind of achievement. This is 2008, not the 1960s.
