^legal issues and re-inventing wheels? I think we have to do it, when push comes to shove.. yup. provide them with shock proof, gyro stabilized cages - but only to the level that they survive (no luxury needed like massan studies).. give them training and observe such travel for them on the ground simulators.
regarding animal rights, they can take a walk. if India is that bothered, then we can't be culling and eating animals in the first place.. can't have them as stray animals on the street etc. it is all perspectives.
as long as we have minimal abuse taken care, and data collection happens, it is enough.

Will have to disagree on this, SaiK. Eating animals for our sustenance is one thing. Using them for experiments where they will be subjected to high levels of stress, discomfort and potentially death is unacceptable. We humans have come a long way from being completely selfish and brutal. Let's not turn back.
People don't plan to have stray animals. Our economy and large population make it not so easy to care about that problem. But, it doesn't mean that we have to make more mistakes.
FWIW, a big time meat eater here.
Edit: As Prasannasimha says, with all the sensors available these days, a capsule could be human rated without using animals as test subjects.
We should follow all the rules, and declared that only Indian dogs and Indians allowed, and only ones who are friends of Indians and Indian dogs. We got to think long term, and put a constellation of 5-10 space stations in space - the whole experience only for Indians and Indian dogs and so on, and start booking tours for holidays - the whole experience of drinking hot Indian tea without gravi-tea; jumping (with cords and ropes) from one space station to the next - including the Indian dogs.krishnan wrote:

India's Mangalyaan among best inventions of 2014 ............{Snipped}...........
The Supersmart Spacecraft
Mangalyaan
Developed by the Indian Space Research Organization
Nobody gets Mars right on the first try. The U.S. didn’t, Russia didn’t, the Europeans didn’t. But on Sept. 24, India did. That’s when the Mangalyaan (Mars craft in Hindi) went into orbit around the Red Planet, a technological feat no other Asian nation has yet achieved. Building the craft cost India just $74 million, less than the budget for the film Gravity. At that price, the Mangalyaan is equipped with just five onboard instruments that allow it to do simple tasks like measure Martian methane and surface composition. More important, however, it allows India to flex its interplanetary muscles, which portends great things for the country’s space program—and for science in general.
The 25 Best Inventions of 2014

Let us not beat up people for posting in any language, but then again I am not a Mod nor the owner so its not my call. All I was saying is, there are ways to work with a system that people post in various languages. Especially if it is a one off post like what was done above.
