May be addition of two Pakistani crews on Shenzou, the way India got on Soviet crafts in past.

Positively, Pakistan will get trained and experienced crews for it's own program but negatively, Pakistan will lose these human resources till it nears capability.

Who said pigs can't fly.:biggrin2: But realistically, I am not sure whether they are going to go through with it. This is not the first time when Paki spew bovine excrement. Remember when Mushy called "Pakistani space program" more advanced than India's.

Do we really need to listen to the man who is claiming that Joint Failure 17 has better performance than F-16s?
