India and China are both sabre-rattling by entering a space race. India has launched an unmanned moon mission ("India Mission Linked to Lunar Land Grab", Guardian Weekly, 24.10.08 p. 4). The aim of India is to harvest the moon, getting helium 3 for nuclear fusion. China also wants to harvest the moon.
