Way to go India  India has successfully launched its first mission to the Moon. The unmanned Chandrayaan 1 spacecraft blasted off smoothly from a launch pad in southern Andhra Pradesh to embark on a two-year mission of exploration. The robotic probe will orbit the Moon, compiling a 3-D atlas of the lunar surface and mapping the distribution of elements and minerals. The launch is regarded as a major step for India as it seeks to keep pace with other space-faring nations in Asia.

Good Lord, while the rest of the world is making progress, the United States is caught up in inventing false financial instruments that never pays off, religious/irreligious intolerance, racial hatred, gender inequality , a coon hunter versus a Harvard politician, etc. Must I go on?IP: Logged |
