India Goes For Dark Side Of Moon


For reasons I can't explain, India is taking pictures of the Dark Side Of The Moon. NASA supplied India some special instrument called the Moon Minerology Mapper for their moon orbiter, the Chandrayaan-1.

Duh. Haven't we been to the moon? Now we are working with other countries!?!?

I'm waiting for something inspiring, like having an astronaut be on the moon, fall in a crater, get stuck, and then have to saw his own leg off... and hold his breath to get to the top of the crater and make it back to his moonbuggy... then drive it 90 mph... hopping over craters and stuff.
