I hope its built here. India lately has increased importance for scientific projects. As the economy grows we can slowly shift our focus from 'basic needs' to 'wants'.

I certainly envy indians for such a good decision. Best of luck with the scientific discoveries. I wish our country would do the same.

Its not yet finalised, it 'may' be setup here. I sure hope it does.

A scientific and economic competition between our nations will benefit us far more than wars.
