India to crash into the Moon
-
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.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.
The green is best if you have any sort of bacterial infection (pennicilium), and it adds a piquant, if somewhat fetid flavor to moldy bread.

Isn't that something that we can tell our kids?
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.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

I thought "no more nuclear tests" was what India got from the sanctions.
Sorry Paul, We still have the right to test[^] It is only a self imposed unilateral moratorium on any further N-tests, since India got what it was looking for, and don't foresee any need for another test. However that doesn't mean India has promised or signed any treaty, to never conduct a N-test.
Sounds like a lot of face-saving bullshit to me. India: We can still blow shit up if we want to! US: Sure sure but we'll want our stuff back then India: Whatever! See if we care, like, you know US: Whatever! India: Pfff! US: Fine, life just got hard again! India: We aren't going to test! US: Good. India: We can if we want to though... US: Bully for you chaps! The same proud, face saving, nationalistic crap that prevents NASA from talking with India. Everything is a race. So sad. Why can't we all just get along eh?
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

One of the objectives of this probe is to understand the moon for future soft landings[^]
Why not just ask NASA or the Russians or ESA or the Japanese? Too proud? And if they won't cooperate then use your brains and figure it out without disfiguring the Moon. Get back to us when you do a soft-landing. Preferably without further hard-landings. I'd like a tri-colour free landscape when I build my Moon house thanks.
cheers, Paul M. Watson.

I don't think I will bother to. If that day come, may be you can alert everyone here at Lounge, as you did it today.

Well, whoop-de-doo, we crashed a probe into Mars. Considering we launched it from a shopping trolley, that's some achievement.

Sorry, I didn't get what you meant. :(
