And no, it isn't "common knowledge". It's myth and conspiracy, which is not fact.

The launch of the Chandrayaan I lunar orbiter by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was originally planned for September 19 but scientists have yet to conduct the thermo-vacuum testing of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) with the orbiter on board.
"We will announce the exact launch date 45-50 days after the completion of thermo-vacuum testing," ISRO chairman G. Madhavan Nair said.
The Chandrayaan remote sensing satellite weighs about 1.3 tons and carries high resolution remote sensing equipment for visible, near infrared, soft and hard X-ray frequencies. Over a two-year period, it is intended to survey the lunar surface to produce a complete map of its chemical characteristics and three-dimensional topography.
The polar regions are of special interest, as they might contain water ice. The satellite will release its Moon Impact Probe once it enters lunar orbit to give scientists a closer look at a specific region of the surface.
The ISRO plans to launch a second lunar mission - Chandrayaan-2 - in 2011. Russia's space agency, Roskosmos, is teaming up with ISRO in the development of Chandrayaan-2's lander and associated rover.
Chandrayaan-2 will comprise an orbiting spacecraft and a landing platform with the moon rover. Nair also said India continued to work on designs for a manned flight to the Moon by 2020.
Dreams of establishing a manned Moon base could become reality within two decades after India’s first lunar mission found evidence of large quantities of water on its surface. Data from Chandrayaan-1 also suggests that water is still being formed on the Moon. Scientists said the breakthrough — to be announced by Nasa at a press conference today — would change the face of lunar exploration.

I don't normally laugh out loud at things I see online, but this is hilarious. What's even funnier is that there are many around here that would give a story like this serious thought, all the while omitting logic, reason and common sense from the process.
Sad, just sad. Like NASA is the keeper of all the space secrets, lol. Half the time they can't tie their own shoes, much less handle a worldwide conspiracy that involves thousands of people concerning alien presence on some dead rock that orbits out planet.
What a joke.

It's a tabloid. Like The Sun, Pravda, and a lot of other tabloids it will publish complete fictions.
The Times of India ( timesofindia.indiatimes.com... ) is where you will find breaking nonfiction news from India.
