While everybody's talking about the fearful space developments from China, there's not too much talk about a more hopeful one from India. The Space Capsule Recovery Experiment was a success. This is a major step along the path as India mulls an indigenous manned spaceflight program. If I were up for a wager, I'd say that India will be the fourth nation to put a man in space, and they will do so within ten years.
