A space summit in Hyderabad, India brought scientists and astronauts together from all over the world this week. The biggest news was that India, China, and Japan are all planning to send orbiters, landers, and even people to the moon over the next several years. Japan already launched an orbiter to the moon a couple of weeks ago, and countries are even talking of establishing a base/research facility on the moon.
But the conference didn't stop with the moon. There was quite a bit of discussion on Mars, and there seemed to be a consensus that India, Japan, China, and the US would all like to explore Mars in the coming decades. This could signal the coming of a widespread collaboration between the space-exploring nations, meaning that the financial burden would not be as great for any one country.
