India has become the newest player in space beyond Earth orbit.  The Indian designed and built Chandrayaan-1 successfully launched today carrying 11 scientific payloads, destined for Lunar orbit.  India's future plans include launching Chandrayaan-2 by 2012 to land an automated rover on the Moon, launching a manned mission by 2015, and a manned Moon mission by 2020.

Do I hear any bets India has astronauts on the Moon before the US makes it back there?
