The mission is expected to cost 3.8bn rupees (£45m; $78m),

Gordon Brown has announced a new package of development aid for India, worth £825m over the next three years.

So Brown has taken money off me and given it to India to spend on a moonshot, why not cut out the middle man?

Wekk, China still gets developement aide, too. And they will get even more money in the name of motivating them to establish emission-low and emvironment-protective production facilities.

What not only costs our money, but gives them our technology that in economics they then use against us.

One should leave it to give them the filter-technology, and let them pay for it, refusing to buy their products from normal production. But no...
