There are no borders in space!

One would think that the space race is over, but no, even with the International Space Station, the space race is still going strong.

You'd think that when the human race moves into space we could ignore all the lines we've drawn in the sand, literally and figuratively.

However the Asian space race is going strong with multiple missions to the moon, even though America and USSR have been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

• Japanese Probe Returns First HD Video of the Moon

And India is apparently going as well.

With all the disease and poverty in the world, and even in Asia's back yard, you'd think that they could collaborate on this mission to the moon and spend the savings on improving the lives of their people in rural areas.
