CHANDRAYAAN 1's success has put India and Indians on cloud nine. Every one seems to be enthused by the great sucess that our moon mission.
The MIP crashed at a place called the Shackleton crater in the south polar region of the Moon and put the Tricolour on the Moon. The crater also is possible site for future human missions to the moon.
Hurray to all the scientists for taking India to the moon !
Looking forward to Chandrayan -2

I wonder how Indian Astronauts travel...
welcome to 1969
LOL. :D
For some reason, I've always considered India to be one of those third world countries, where the only job is making clothes or being a technical support person:rolleyes: . Apparently that has changed. Not that big of a deal. The US did it first, and that's what matters. :D
Even as an American, I have to disagree with this philosophy of "America did it first, so the rest don't matter..." when honestly, we've not done it lately.Quote:

Sorry. I didn't mean it that way really. What I meant is once it's done, it's done. It was a big deal back then, but now..... Once one nation does something like landing on the moon, thats it. No one will ever say "Hey, wouldn't it be cool if we landed on the moon."Quote:

Sorry if it came out wrong.

It seems like a milestone to me, but I'd like to know what future there is in it. What tangible accomplishments can be attributed to putting people on our moon or in space for that matter. What possible benefits are there to it?
In the future, the Greenhouse Effect has taken place on a now ravaged Earth covered in water, and a mysterious drifter aids a mother and daughter in seeking Dryland, a mythical place that a group of savage bandits seek out as well.
^^ Waterworld ^^ I'd choose space over water dude.
- Very much in that train, so crammed for space.Quote:

I already said I was wrong.......
Probably for the same reason that most countries consider Americans to be fat, meth-addicted losers who sit around watching Springer and Montel while driving in gas abusing SUV's showing complete disregard for anything not American.Quote:

International reaction
* NASA Administrator Michael D. Griffin congratulated Indian scientists: "Congratulations to our Indian colleagues on the successful launch of the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which is carrying two NASA instruments. India's first lunar mission will provide important insight."[55]
* US White House hailed India's maiden moon mission as "encouraging" and "exciting".[56]
* U.S. President elect Barack Obama viewed the launch of Chandrayaan as a challenge to the United States. He stated "We are reminded just how urgently we must revitalise our space program, if we are to remain the undisputed leader in space, science, and technology".[57]
* ESA Director of Science and Robotic Exploration Prof. David Southwood said: "This is a new opportunity for Europe to expand its competence in lunar science while tightening the long-standing relationship with India - an ever stronger space power. Joining forces is becoming more and more key to future successes. We congratulate ISRO on the successful launch and we are eagerly looking forward to science to begin”.[58]
But hey, that's you guys, the presidents of the internets.
