Will India be next on Mars? |
Look out, Curiosity: India is right behind you. The country is planning to send an unmanned spacecraft to orbit Mars next year, its prime minister announced today. "This spaceship to Mars will be a huge step for us in the area of science and technology," Manmohan Singh said in a speech to celebrate India's 65th year of independence.
