This is my third attempt to write why a joint space mission with a
mixed Indian and Chinese crew will be disastrous. I'll cop out by
saying that our cultural and personality affinities are fundamentally
incompatible. Three days together in close proximity and an Indian
and Chinese will want to kill each other. I cannot elaborate further
without coming across as a raging racist. I had many Indian friends
at school and at university. I came to this conclusion the hard way
and it is shared by just about evefryone else I know who is not an
ethnic Indian. Lets just keep our civility, our good manners and our
distance.
