India recovers space capsule

Indian authorities have recovered a space capsule which they launched into space 13 days ago. The capsule paves the way for unmanned and manned expeditions to the Moon, Indian Space Research Organisation says. This was a crucial test in India's plans to send an unmanned capsule to the Moon by 2008. With this succesful recovery India mastered the procedure, which was done before by only the US, France, Russia, China and Japan. Could it be that India places a man on the Moon before the United Kingdom does?
