The Curiosity rover has barely settled into its new home, but may be getting some company soon as India now says it want to get into the Mars exploration business. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh announced today that the country is planning to send an unmanned probe into orbit around the red planet with a launch scheduled for next year. The country sent a similar spacecraft to the moon in 2008 and Singh also suggested it might send it's own lunar rover there as well.

lol.. I am pretty sure it will not be next year.. our own satellite sending thingy took around 15 years to make I think.. and the moon mission was also quite a number of years in making.. this wont see the light of day under the present government for sure..

But if it does happen.. we'll make sure to outsource "the road construction" a bit to US looking at how your unemployment rates refuse to go down.. we'd need educated unemployed more for this mission than uneducated unemployed, which we have more off.. :P hehe

Curiosity will fire its "secret" unknown launch rockets, pull up behind the indian probe, with red lights flashing, impound it for 20 space violations and fine the indian gov

The Indian "probe" is what rocky pees through!
