    Prime Minister Modi doesn't look convinced, not waving that flag with much conviction

    They'd have been better off streaming this. Would be more convincing.

    Didn't use a gimbal and had clearly been on the moon juice by the looks of his shaky camera work

    Fake news. Everyone knows the moon isn't real. It's just where there's a hole in the shroud aliens put around the Earth to stop telly getting out.

    Got to wonder why we gave a country with a space program 33.4 million on foreign aid last year.

    Because if we're nice to them, they buy stuff from us worth a lot more than that - £8.4 *billion* last year.

    I went to my usual shop to buy beer today. The owners are Gujarati.
    Today the men were out and one on their wives served me.
    I asked her if she was going to watch the moon landing, she said no, not really.
    They are always on their phones in that shop, watching bollywood films or facetiming.

    I enjoyed the button moon and clangers clips so thanks for that.

    Fair point. So are we saying...they don't need the aid at all....and there might be a fiddle going on....

    I think it’s similar to here in a way , kids are having to have campaigns by footballers & cereal companies to get free meals & breakfast  while the government are wasting money on various projects & blowing it on dodgy track & trace apps & giving it to their pals dodgy companies .

    I really hope that nobody here is serious about the animated representation of the landing.  
    Humans are destructive parasites that will destroy the celestial oasis of Earth.  The sooner Homo Sapiens are extinct, the better.

    Is anyone going to say "well done" or is this thread for snide comments only?

    They went from being one of the poorest nations on the planet at independance to the fifth largest economy and a space power in 75 years.

     The Chandrayaan-3 mission cost $75 million - a fraction of comparable missions. ISRO has an annual budget 1/25 the size of NASAs.

    What they're going to find out about water ice at the moon's south pole will benefit all of us in years to come.

    Well done India.

    ^^^ of course it's going to be snidey.

    Do you think this is anything other than a socially or politically motivated stunt? 

    There is fuck all reason, in practical terms, given the cost and effort, to land a little craft on the moon. If the kings of Capitalism have given up on it, it's for good reason.

    I think the best way to judge a society is how they treat the poorest and most unfortunate and on that basis India unfortunately don't get a tip off the hat from me for sending up a U$75 million rocket when so many people are starving
