today you have woken up to witness history .
Congratulations India and ISRO for successful MARS space mission .
First country in the world to be successful in its maiden MARS mission attempt ( yes US and Russia failed in their initial attempts and China is yet to succeed ) , at a budget less than that of hollywood movie GRAVITY ( movie budget 100 million ) , in a record preparation time of 15 months only, using many indegenious innovative techniques ( like sling shot method to push the satellite out of earths sphere of influence ). It cost India only 73 million dollars for this mission ( the least expensive Boeing plane costs 76 million dollars )
All this for a organization that has a budget than 0.038% of Indian GDP ( compare that to NASA budget of 0.1% of American GDP) . It proves that if you stop dreaming , you stop progressing.
Should this achievement be surprising for an country which taught the world to count by giving them number " ZERO" ? I guess not . This is a new dawn in ISRO and India's fortune . Let's hope that we become leaders in space technology.
Proud to be an Indian !! Jai hind .
