This is pretty cool. Hopefully they don't set up a call center up there.

I can see this failing because Mission Control will all be working of scripts and the minute that someone happens that deviates from the script, they won't know what to do and will start doing the only things they know how to do even though it bares no relation to the problem at hand. IMO.

I read somewhere, the entire indian space program up to now, has cost less than the recurring cost of one shuttle launch.

I couldn't find the old 1992 gateway space cow screen saver so this will have to do...



I'm sure it is costing India, China, and Richard Branson far less than it did the US to get to space....with 21st century computers and all the advances of the US space program....we really need to revamp.

Also I'm sure this is creating lots of jobs in India where everyone is very educated there is just no work.

There's a Sanskrit word for "Moon Craft"? Maybe they've been there before, in another life.
