INDIA launches moon mission- CONGRATS
India's first unmanned mission to the moon, Chandrayaan-I, has been successfully placed in its orbit this morning.
Congrats to ISRO , India and all mallus too. The chairman Mr Madhavan Nair and the three heads of the mission are Keralites.
Spcae craft carries 11 sattelites..

Proud entry of India to the moon mission countries.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Excellent stuff..
Hope all goes well. Jokes aside, India should be very proud of what it has achieved.
China and india can now use their expertise for commercial launnches and hopefully one day launch manned vehicles similar to the space shuttle..
Brit - Beware.. Obama to bring CHANGEs :)
BREAKING NEWS - Chandrayan 1 enters Lunar Transfer Trajectory successfully.
The health of the spacecraft is being continuously monitored from the Spacecraft Control Centre at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bangalore with support from Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) antennas at Byalalu. Since its launch on October 22 by PSLV-C11, all systems onboard Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft are performing normally. Chandrayaan-1 will approach the Moon on November 8, 2008 and the spacecraft’s liquid engine will be fired again to insert the spacecraft into lunar orbit.

Why do I smell some Indian blood in someone? LOL
ur right!wonder why they're so keen in living our lives for us :-D
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Hummmm…….in that case better to wear ‘dhoti’ rather than wearing life threatening tie and die.
Brit...let us worry about that.
Why are you so keen?
Sensors in mission control say that the landing may be dangerous. The Dhoti Parachute has a suspected tear..
British scientists have been asked to help resolve the issue..
the eternal parasites.....the British! :-D
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
It's true.. The British government decided that the cost was prohibitive and anyway, we got most of the info needed through NASA and other scientific bodies..
lol brit.. I was serious boss..

Indians May be poor but in india poor means people living in harsh conditions (Sanitary, Luxury Wise) not starving and dying like other countries
but in world of Billionaires India holds 4,5,6,8 proof on the forbes link

In the list of millionaires we have many more...
India may not be making the best automobiles but we are still the largest producers of Heavy Vehicles, 2 wheelers suplliers to the world. we recently entered the luxury car market by acquiring ROVER and JAGUAR. 95% of the countries dont even make a bicycle.
Indias Defence ranks 4th After US,Russia, CHina india according to Global fire power. Inspite of all this India Never fired the first bullet in any war.(http://www.globalfirepower.com/)
Top of that there are many countries that cant live along with in lines of religion, lang, cast, creed... India has more than 106 languages, different colors, there is no religion that is not there in india Still india is standing together.
Best Doctors, Scientist, Computer Spcialist/Programmers are from India... India is already no 2 in Software Industry and ever growing medical tourism much cheaper and more in quality than many in this world..
and it goes on....
Thanks for the info, but you missed the point..

oh!really?according to your vocabulary,is 'signing of an MOU' synonymus with 'outsourcing'?amazing,my friend!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
I just heard that it's actually an "outsourcing" contract from NASA.
ah!another case.....i really feel sorry for you all!tsk!tsk!
oh!and BTW,this is the latest news about our dream....just FYI....
=========================================================
Chandrayaan-I put in lunar
BANGALORE, Nov. 4: India's unmanned lunar spacecraft, Chandrayaan-I, entered the last lap of its history-making journey to the moon
The fifth and final orbit raising manoeuvre was successfully carried out this morning, injecting Chandrayaan-I into the lunar transfer trajectory.
The spacecraft is now in an orbit with an apogee (farthest point) of 380,000 kms from earth, and is expected to be injected into lunar orbit later this week.
During the manoeuvre this morning at 4.56 am, Indian Space Research Organisation scientists fired the spacecraft's 440 Newton liquid engine for 145 seconds, about two and a half minutes. The operation was described by the space agency as a “crucial and important milestone” in the Chandrayaan-I mission.
“On Saturday evening, the lunar orbit insertion manoeuvres are planned to be carried out and Chandrayaan will be captured in the moon's orbit,” an ISRO official said All systems on board the spacecraft are performing normally, the official said. n SNS & PTI
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Well said.. By the way, the mission has had to be ended prematurely.. One of the Turbans has developed an air leak..
i don't think it's exactly hatred these people have towards india.it's more like a deep sense of insecurity.something like what the slower runners feel when they see others going ahead of them in a running race... :-P can't blame them really.poor souls! :-D LOL....
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
True.. thats still left without solution. :)

Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Our office manager, Ayoub will be returning to India to help make an experiment for the next launch. He wants to test the effects of zero gravity on the flavour of curry and to check whether he can grow the curry leaves using moon soil.
If it all works out,then he wants all those child laborers to be put to good use on the mission and help cultivate the moon's surface.
It's all so exciting!!
UKewngr.. May be this is why UK has no space programme??? LOL

I was thinking about, 10 more sacred cows, 10 sacred monkeys, 10 sacred elephants and a shit load of sacred rats, all of them to habitat the moon. Since the Indus have no lunar casting system...

You are just trying to be an a$$***e here. I am cutting and pasting a stuff from Al Jazeera English, views on similar twist to facts- Should India launch a rocket to moon -the answer is simple India launches a rocket and satellite to the moon because it can and you can be a nuisance on the net typing your a$$ off, I liked the reply though I dont know who the guys is and I have no ways of knowing facts. Here it goes:
I am surprised at most comments. India is a developing country but the poverty figures quoted are plain wrong. India's current poverty levels are around 21% of the population and no one is dying of hunger or single meals is unheard off. To put things in perspective on this launch, India spent 75 Billion US dollars last year on Oil Imports and has a trillion dollar economy. Some one said 80 million dollars will be needed to feed people?? Wake up !!. It is the 4th Largest economy in the world on Purchasing power parity (A dollar in the US does not buy the same stuff as the rupee in India). Check www.undp.org
The US is in a trillion dollar debt and is spending 90 billion on geopolitics in Iraq. Britts don't know what a rocket is, because they dont have a space programme. European space Agency is a French-German Constortium. The comments are mainly for middle eastern Consumption, where semi-literate blokes from the west are managers claiming greater technical superiority of their countries. Reality dawns.
toppyin, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Careful Smoke - it may land Up Yours! loooooooool!
OMG! Simply awful language in your comment. I wonder if your anger and excitement caused your head to wobble clear off? What to do! Up the Raj! Mwah! -
I'm certainly happier spending billions on an unmanned lunar mission than spending billions on nuclear weapons.
Mandi
oops!! Is this SMOKE, really? :-P
Man, aren't we pissed off!!

“Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.”
marhabtain! seriously dude STFU your starting to get on my nerves with all this India is a under developed country and your f'ing little mind is still stuck to what u f'ing read may be years ago in ur school books. Your thoughts or ideas really dont mean diddly squat to any of us, you just sit there behind ur 12" computer screen, typing away like a freaking bozo. So if your done Sh*tting bricks through ur arse you might as well get back to drinking your gin before u get that bottle shoved really far up your anus hole.
Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

KUDOS!!!
**Run,Jump make Noise but do not SIN."
Edifis: Quite a tangent , I should say. Now where did I ever compare India with Qatar or anyone?? what is the comparison??n Roads? I was taklking about the people, the masses!!
I do agree with you on that its a welfare economy, and that is exactly my point. About the figures you quoted about the budget, i'll need some time to verify, but still $ 940 mil is quite an amount in a country where millions live on less than a dollar per day. Not to forget quite a lot of those that din make it to the orbit.
The solution, my friend , is right here on earth, not in the space.
Marhabtain: You are right! India will not be a happening 22nd century country. It will be happening before the first quarter of this century is over. In fact, jus open your eyes and see, what is 'happening'-gloom or no gloom, depression or no depression.
-------------------------------------------------
“Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.”
I respect your misguided comments - indeed I do. I can see that Wonderful India is basically a rural land and that some of the roads are better than in Doha. However, Doha was only really 'discovered a few'years ago - I rather think India is somewhat older so have had yonks of time to get their roads right. As for the rural aspect - what has that got to do with going to the Moon? Padi Fields? Cabbages? I rather dont think so. i.e. India should spend the cash on India and its atrving, its roads and its rural industry instead of trying to make it a 'happening ' 22nd century country which it will never be. I suspect Mother Theresa is spinning in her grave right now eh? Tata for now !
nice to see u all proud of India
lets do Good in whatever we do...and get our country more respect.
bharat hunko jaan sae pyara hai
sabsey pyara gulistaan hamara hai
janam bhumi hai hamari shaan sae kahengay hum

Winn, this is for you.
1)India has 3.2 million Km of Roads.
2)India is a poor country with a deficit budget.
3)India has a lot of rain and a poor sub base soil for roads.
1)Qatar has say lesser than (5 to 6) thousand Km of Road.
2)Qatar is a very rich country with surpus budget.
3)The soil/Rock subgrade is excellent, and roads once made lasts really long, and there is hardly any rain.
Still I find a lot of broken and bumpy roads in Qatar.
whereas in India you will find all kinds of Roads(some are even good and lot of them bad). But imagine what India spends on maintaining these roads to keep them running.
But you will still find some Indians grumbling about "roads in India", and worse they equate India with Qatar.
I hate the idea of equating such unequal entities, but you made me do it.
Marhabtain/Winn, If you knew anything about Indian Union Budget or Indian Economy, you would'nt say such things.
FYI: India's economy unlike Pakistan's is a "welfare economy". Which means in any Indian Budget most of the money is allocated to Rural health, Education, irrigation, basic sanitation, Roads etc.
The only department which does not cater to "public service" and still eats away a big piece of the "budget cake" is Defense. That too because India has its concerns, and wants to maintain the regional power balance, So it can be considered as "forced spending".
And if you see the ISRO spendings(Rocket science etc) it is small change compared to the massive economy of India.
If you consider Indias GDP(PPP) :$5.21 trillion(2008 est.) - Source wikipedia.org,
then the annual ISRO spending of $940 million is really very insignificant compared to Indias National Budget.
If you draw a pi-chart in a A4 page, the ISRO spending will not even be visible.

WELL DONE!!!!!!
GOOD TEAM WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ignored! Moi!? Nah.......loadsa support coming by PM - they want me to take over as El Presidente! Oh, love ur ice cream!
Congrats to India. Sorry Gin, you are ignored.
Tata moon buggies - now theres a thought! A sort of Balti on wheels? Maybe pulled by a Bullock? Goodness, perish the thought as the Bullocks might fall off and rain Bullocks on the earth! Up the Raj!
Congratulations to India on their achievement.
Lol architect..
I was watching some paint dry - far more interesting me thinks.............. Up the Raj!
speaking of tea shops, i think ill be basing my designs on this famous image:
---Life is Fragile, Handle with Prayer---
winn, sure there are many poor people but does it mean that we divert all funds and efforts onto that one goal? shouldn't all this go together, the technological and the economic development?
i feel it has more to do with achievements and accomplishing dreams. dont u think this little achievement could encourage (atleast) one little kid to dream of an exciting future and feel proud? wouldnt this give him encouragement to go on and accomplish his dreams?
i grew up learning about how brain drain affects our economy (hated those essays!), how we fill the top spots in other places while giving nothing back to our own country. cant achievements like these help this cause and keep the talent at home?
launching satellites is no doubt going to be a big commercial venture, and the space program will always be a profit making expertise.
the americans and russians started it for pride and their missions were resource based ones, the european missions are technological. However, this has more scientific goals with the main object being to map the surface of the moon, look for signs of water, learn about its evolution, signs of past life and also to sent down a probe with the tricolor! are u saying that these are not exciting, and that we should focus solely on poverty? we should aim to eradicate poverty, but should not get left behind doing it because then we'd really be poor! Lets all keep moving forward while also trying to raise up those amongst us who are ECONOMICALLY weak.
years to look forward to include 2011: unmanned rover on the moon and 2015: Indian on moon, (2016: my tea shop and curry house (for the brits) on the moon)
---Life is Fragile, Handle with Prayer---
HI
CONGRATES INDIA WELL DONE AND GREAT ACHEIVEMENT.
Arien: There is a lot of ground between an economist and a statesman. I am talking about a simple cost-benefit analysis. What has been spent and what has the Indian economy and the nation in general recieved.
Saggi: When did I say I am aginst technology? I agree We need to spend money on technological advances- in healthcare, irrigation, agriculture, sanitation, drinking water, education and so on. That is what will take India to superpower status. Not nuclear weapons and space shuttles."Third World country that sends space ships" is not a title that would work for us.It will still be a third world country. What makes any country a superpower is the empowerment and welfare of its people and not elitist control and spaceships.
P.S-You are still silent about what should be done for those 'teeming millions'.

“Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.”
Yep we Brits have changed our favorite dish from Fish and Chips to the Curry..
A number of curries that have develped recently are unique to Briatain. i.e Vindaloo, or a Balti. I think we in britain will start exporting Curries to India at this rate..
-----------------
HE WHO DARES WINS
When working in the UK, Friday evening was always curry night..
We used to try the hottest curry around and sit their sweating like pigs, whilst we enjoyed it...
Good days...:O)
Ukengg...ever tried that??
Go anywhere in the Universe you are not far from a Indian Curry House..lol
-----------------
HE WHO DARES WINS
wat happnd....??? only our gin guy is on board for India bashing.....where d hell all the rest of them hav gone?????????
well-said,my friend!agree with you hands-down!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Winn..So what should be budgetted by a trillion economy and USD350 billion foreign rserve country for its technology advancements??..
I guess our economists knows better than me and you buddy. Lets leave it to them.
like elsewhere,indians are also born into families,my dear friend.they don't drop down from trees or sprout from the ground that india can 'risk a few' as you put it.and it wasn't just Chandrashekar who's given "something" to the world.india's contribution to the world cannot be summarized in just a few lines.please do ur homework well before you comment.
and about orbiting the moon being primitive engg,each little step for us is a giant leap.do i have to remind everyone that mr.armstrong's moon-visit is still a matter of argument till date....as to whether he really did go to the moon or was the whole thing one big act.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
so what's ur point?india should ensure that all it's people (we're talking of a billion people here!) are first well-fed and sleeping on cushioned beds before it even thinks of moving ahead with technology and stuff?this'll be like Katherine Heigl's role in '27 Dresses'....where she plays the the role of a girl who's the perpetual bridesmaid,and never the bride.likewise u say that India shud just keep playing nanny to it's teeming millions while the rest of the world jump all over her and get to the top?i'm sorry.being an ambitious indian myself,i beg to disagree.20 years from now,i'd like my country to be known as a super-power and not as a 'Third-World Nation'!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
agree with SomeoneOld ....!!!
Instead of appreciating things, we have people finding some + and - points ......:(
Let's be more accurate, svelte. The Space Shuttle has absolutely nothing to do with the Apollo program. I agree that three astronauts burnt to death on the ground (Chaffee and others), but doesn't India have more than enough people to risk a few? They should be proud of Chandrasekar. He gave the world something (Chandra's Limit). But a vehicle orbiting the moon? Primitive engineering, nothing more. (No generalization, just my personal unqualified opinion).
Guys Relax! This thread is abt the news of India launching an unmanned spacecraft on to the moon. Now lets congratulate India on the success. Whether to feel proud as an Indian coz our Gov could have chucked the mission and diverted funds for betterment of society is another issue- If you wanna discuss it start a new thread for it and lets have the comments there. Anyone intersted?
I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown
that's coz india hasn't got money enuf to spend on disasters like the challenger.....like something goes poof! and the scientists get away with just an 'oops!sorry!'
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Better late than never MD.
Saggi:Martinez is talking about a different point. If your pointer is about poor people entering middle class, I suggest you should take a second look at the demographics.
Again even if it were true, the billions spent on Mars n Moon has got nothing to do with it.

after all its India's Hard Earned Money, let them spend the way they want ..:)
Pajju yea finished my delicious lunch and ya i didnt even think of ya while havin my lunch ...LoL
Marhabtain: "Up the raj"?? I find that Quite offensive!
Arien: Commercial launch?? I'm yet to find a balance sheet/statement from ISRO to the public stating the cost-benefits/ contributions to economy.
Saggi: Race to where? Race to what?? No country can be a superpower without taking the masses along with it in any race.
"winn...by the time the govt. goes around feeding all the poor people in the country,even ghana..." Quite a callous statement, I feel. So what should all these people do? Lemme guess...die quietly and leave the elite to 'win the race'?
Get me straight my friend, I am proud of the technological advances and capabilities of my country, but the same money and effort elsewhere can bring about a "Greater Common Good" is what I mean to say.

rizks....oh!nothing much really,rizks jaan.some dimwit is cussing india for having spend a fortune on space research when it could have spent that money feeding the starving millions.heard he's running for the post of prime minister in the next elections!duh!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Rizks WB :) finished lunch ?
Thank you All For not Missing ME ....LoL
Now watz going on over here in my ABSENCE ??
LOL saggi ..that was a cool one.
Well said Martinez..
he he! ;-)
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
saggi lolz
or they're just feeling 'insecure' by india's alarming growth rate.....read this joke sometime during Independence Day last year...
Indian Mom to her child:Study well!Or else you won't get a job!
American Mom to her child:Study well!Or else some Indian will get your job!
LOL! :-P
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Marhabtain here is the small example
Stay cool, wait, and if you took all of the above actions and more, you probably will be better off then many. This is not a rumor.
Bear Stearns is the first of many banking and financial institutions that will start falling in the not too future.
If Bear Stearns can fall, so can JP Morgan, Citibank, HSBC, and the whole world. US economy falls, the rest will crumble.
India may be a little stronger, but not China, another giant place!
Malaysia will see significant impact.
Very well said Martinez...Some people just cant accept the fact...*Sighh*
bravo!well-said,my friend!!!!he needed that! x-(
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Marhabtain...u just cannot accept the fact that the land of the construction workers of Qatar is able to send Rockets to Moon.
Yep..there are poor people in India. But do you know that a country's growth is indirectly measured by the expanse of the middle class. It is found that the poor people are now entering the middle class family and a considerable percentage of middle class are now enetering upper middle.
This means that India is becoming richer everyday. Thanks to the smart education system we have that Siemens, Microsoft and Ford (just to name a few) cannot resist setting up base here.
You need to visit one city in India...say Bangalore or Hyderabad or Chennai to see the King size systems and factories of the cities.
Dont generalize a nation and try to belittle its achievements with your mediocre knowledge by judging the country by looking at the labourers.
Now go and sip your Gin (preferably some Bombay Saphire) !

and now u call us morons......do me a favor.....just go bang ur head somewhere on a nearby wall.maybe that'll get ur thoughts straight! x-(
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
True to say Saggi..
Winn leme repeat..it was a commercial launch which carried 6 sattelites of US ,EU space and bulgaria, and not for free.
pajju....agree with me or not?
winn...by the time the govt. goes around feeding all the poor people in the country,even ghana would have become a super-power.life is a race,Winn....not a morning walk.india also has to run if it has to keep up and move on with it's dream of becoming a super-power.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Well said winn. The morons on this thread seem to insist on avoiding that issue. Up the Raj!
Jus wondering what this(spending billions on an ivory-tower scientist's dream) will achieve in a country where millions go to sleep every night without a single square meal in them.

“Live life so completely that when death comes to you like a thief in the night, there will be nothing left for him to steal.”
saggi .......... :)
with all due apologies to fellow QLers,i'd like to quote a saying from my mother tongue to this dude's attitude...."vivaram illaathavar enthenkilum parayumbol nammal vivaram ullavar kshemikkandey?" (i'm sorry,i can't translate this into english coz no matter what words i use,the real meaning won't come across in any other language.so pls. excuse)....so leave it,arien!it's not worth fighting for.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
which world are you from dude??.. this is the 14th successful launch and was a commercial one which made millions to the country.
starving millions??. that sthe first page of the book you read.. keep reading..
brother,u need professional help!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
They forgot to cover it in Tinsel and to paint pictures of the Goddess Ramupur on it. Goodness Gracious me! Still, it got there which is nice. What next from the Government of the starving millions? Shitty Shelpa first Babe on the Moon? Whatever they do - it is gauranteed to be tasteless and rather nauseating! Up the Raj! Whort?
how can it be so when it's an unmanned satellite?mallus on the moon indeed.....get ur facts straight first!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
finally the joke (mallu's on moon) which was making rounds since long time has come true.
yeah,u said it!guess the guy ran out of gin and had sour grapes instead! LOL.....
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
you said it FS..
Sour grapes I guess..lol
get some gin marhabatain, u r MORE irritating wen u arent drinkin
---Life is Fragile, Handle with Prayer---
It looks like you know pretty much about India..lol
Why not india mate???
Bollywood movies are not made by Government of India.
This space launch was commercial for your kind info.. it carried 6 sattelites of other nations and ISRO made money out of it.
did any of our movie producers or rocket scientists come knocking at your door asking for small change to do whatever they're doing?i'm sure not.wonder why it bothers you so......duh!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
NASA means: Now Another Silly Announcement - India joins the space race.............duh. Whats next? Bangladesh? Whats to do etc etc.
I so agree, after all, look at the millions u guys have spent making abysmal Bollywood movies whilst your population starves to death! U see, racial prejudice was invented in India and wow do u guys make a good job of it. Good luck on the Moon with Saggis Curry House and Corner Shop! Up the Raj!
now u're asking for trouble here,mate......very soon u'll have people flying at ur neck.
we may be poor but that's our business,afterall.and what we do with our money is also our business.we'll use it for space research or to make paper boats.it's our money!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Quite why India feels the need to enter space I have no idea unless its to provide the Moons first Corner shop and Takeaway? Come on India - use your cash to look after your poor and starving. You aint got a snowball in hells chance of doing anything serious in Space. One thing positive that you could do is of course to send Shah Ruk Khan up there as that would surely benefit mankind.
I am an Indian too saggi.. and am proud to be one. It doesnt really matter which part am from too like you said.
Its a team of 1500 and their hardship of four years which made the country proud.
I explained why it was emphasised.. :)
I Love My INDIA...............
I Love My INDIA...............
I Love My INDIA...............
Why not dear saggi, when such a big successful mission is being lead by one. come on saggi pls..lol
And yes , There are 1497 of them remaining. I will make a list of it with which state they belong to?? :)
Hey its an Indian pride.. no matter who did it.
andrews.....i guess that's more like it
arien....sorry,mate.i am an indian above all else.blame it on the freedom fighter's blood flowing in my veins.but i don't really care about being a keralite,tamilian,bihari or bengali!it's got nothing to do with something that was done and achieved as a team.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
he he he......
heres the truth.....
niel armstrong proudly landed on the moon assuming he was the first to land on the moon..... poor fella...
as soon as he landed on the moon... a mallu came running to him.... " Sir, chai sir ?"
;) ;) ;)
saggi.......ok....I will change that to Vasudheva kudumbhakam......
lol arien
On the moon already some indians there.. guess .. who...
arien....if it was so,then why the emphasis on the keralite bit?how come none of the others were mentioned.....like there was one bengali,2 biharis,or whatever?
andrews....what's that phrase got to do with what's being talked of here?it's got a totally different meaning.
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Pajju I guessed it wrong.. I thought you went for a pee.. hahaha
Is it that important to highlight this? : "The chairman Mr Madhavan Nair and the three heads of the mission are Keralites"

PROUD OF INDIA ............
As India's first lunar mission settled into its chosen orbit successfully, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman G Madhavan Nair described the launch as "perfect" which was achieved after "fighting against all odds".
believe me saggi from that "group" effort 70% must have been mallu's
Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

arien....fine!all respects to mr.nair.but i guess it would be more proper to consider him and his achievement as an indian one rather than as a mallu one.whatsay?coz the ISRO definitely does not belong to the State Govt. of Kerala!
smoke...didn't have my coffe yet,smokey!i'm gonna sue those tea-boys!forget about the heads of the mission.they didn't do it themselves.it was a group effort and that's all that matters!
FS....he he!yeah,it seems he's seen me before....though i hadn't noticed.anywayz,it was really nice meeting him.and so i met my very first QLer buddy :-D
Keep smiling!

Uff ever wonder what would happen if the Mallu's took shelter on the Moon? They would first change the name from Moon to MUUN, and then actually set up a chai shop serving Masala Dosa. Oh well Mabruk to India :)

Hats off to all Indian Rocket Scientists….and of course all fellow mallus who made it possible.
I was only joking.. Hats off to Indian scientists for achieving this success..
Morning brit.. yes there is an MOU signed with Russia and Israel which covers only co-operation in the space navigation system.
Otherwise its the 14th flight of PSLV which has launched 29 sattelites already since 1993.
Congratulations to India on this big day and hope it is successful...
Cheers!

Well done India..
A great way to show off in-house developed technical expertise.. (With a little help from Israel :0))
