WHY?

I can see why India might like to send astronauts to the moon. For
them, it would be a big deal to demonstrate that they are as
technologically advanced as the US was 30 years ago.

The same reason applies to China. Plus, they've got to find something
to spend all those billions on that we've been sending them in exchange
for keeping the shelves filled at Toys-R-Us and Circuit City.

You'd think the Japanese would have more sense.

I wouldn't expect George Bush to have any sense, hence his "vision".
