Is it wrong for me to pine for Bollywood in space? The implications zero-g will have on coreography are mind-boggling*. The launch was delayed for several days due to bad weather (on earth, not in space, obviously), but the Indian Space Research Organisation is feeling optimistic. My favourite part? The craft, named “Chandrayaan-1″, will orbit the moon and send a small “impact probe” to the surface. The sole purpose of this probe? To plant a fucking flag. Are people still planting flags? Is this a revenge flag, as a kind of post-colonial “fuck you” to the ex-Britsh empire? If it is, awesome. If not, you could have just used a sound stage, India. But I’m guessing all the dancing would have cast doubt on the authenticity of any footage.
