My issue with everyone getting a Space program will be their Government fabricating shite to show how great they are.

Take China for instance, motherfrickers announced they were able to create the power of the Sun in their huge lab.

"New Dehli, Vishnu Base here. The Circle K has landed."

"Thank you! Come again!"

Is India paying the U.S. a lease to put their property on our land?

I wonder if they will "do the needful."

They will deliver but it will be way over budget, really late, and land in the wrong place.

That's an impressive picture there. Just in the front row alone, you have a guy smoking a cigarette, a dude with no shirt on, another dude in a wife beater and a fat chick with crazy color hair.

Going down (vertical) at 133 miles per hour (59.8 meters per second) while going sideways (horizontal) at 107 miles per hour.....you going "land on the moon" faster than you can reheat a curry in a 1000W microwave.

ETA - Indian News says "Descent until 2.1KM was successful"
