For a country that was nowhere to be found with regards to space, look at how rapidly the Chinese are improving in space:

Their rise is, perhaps, as impressive as Russia and the U.S. in the 1960's. Now they blasted 3 astronauts, er, Sino-nauts, and performed two space walks! Next, a "space station", and they may get to the moon before 2020.
I cannot help but feel outright jealous of their space prowess, and their rapid improvement. India is not even in their league whatsoever. Not even close, I'm afraid.
How frustrating. _________________ "A communist is someone who reads Marx. An anti-communist is someone who understands Marx." Ronald Reagan
