Congratulations India..

Hmmm......replying in Hindi.......pseudo-Bangladeshi wannabe-Indian!!!

I wouldn't want Pakistan to send any moon or mars mission unless the GDP per capita is at least $10,000 and people are not suffering abject poverty. Basic human rights should come first before these useless ego boost projects.

Ever heard of word Budget??

Everything is important, and there is budget for everything...

If we put this 73 Million USD for poverty elevation, will India become rich??

Charity begin at home, Why Pakistan is investing in Hatf, Nasr etc, you can put the same money for poor ?

Don't give BS answer, at no point of History India or Iran have attacked Pakistan.. So there is no need of sophisticated weapons.

10 Incredible Facts About India’s Mars Mission That Will Make You Super Proud

Early in the morning, while most of us were probably in our beds, history was created as India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (M.O.M.) successfully entered the orbit of the red planet. The I.S.R.O. pulled off an incredible feat of frugal engineering and helped us join an elite club of space-faring nations to have accomplished this stellar feat.

The internet has been abuzz and congratulations have been pouring in. Here are a few facts about the mission which every Indian would be proud of.

1. India is the first country in the world to have succeeded in putting a probe into Mars’s orbit in the very first attempt.

2. This is, hands down, the most cost effective Mars Mission to have ever been undertaken.

3. On an average, every Indian has probably contributed about Rs. 5 per person towards the mission.
So pat yourselves on the back.

4. At Rs 450 Crore for 780 Million km, the mission cost about Rs 5.77 per km. That is cheaper than what many auto-rickshaws charge in the country.

5. N.A.S.A. took 5 years to complete its “Maven” Mars Orbiter. The I.S.R.O. took just 15 months to complete Magalyaan.

6. They even managed to make it weigh about 1,350 kilograms. That’s less than your average S.U.V.

7. The odds were stacked against us. Of the 51 Mars missions attempted across the world so far, 21 have failed. But we nailed it.

8. India will join the U.S, Europe and Russia in an elite group of countries to have successfully undertaken a mission to Mars.

9. The success of the mission will solidify India’s reputation as a competent and low cost base for sophisticated engineering.

10. And by the way, this happened. Awesomeness!

Nice to know...........................

ISRO makes us proud to be an Indian

They always do....................

One of its objectives is to verify the presence of methane on the surface of Mars. If it can do that, it would be new info, just like our moon mission was the first in the world to confirm the presence of water on the moon.

This little baby will keep taking images (not just photographs, but different sensors) of Mars that will lead to a better understanding about our nearest planet. It's about cumulative accumulation of knowledge, not one grand "Eureka!" moment where a great discovery is made.

I have thanked for your signature.

There was a time when sub continent used be land of gold's smoke.

But we neglected science and tech.

We know the result, right?

They haven't even tried a Mars mission as its a Russian mission. So even if the Russian succeeded, its a Russian success, not Chinese success.

Satellite was chinese ..... mission was Russian .

If the mission succeeded , you would have seen all the chinese including you claiming the mission to be Sino-Russian to get the credit .

That's right. Until the 17th century, India was the world's biggest economy, followed by China. One third of the world's GDP and wealth was from India. We missed out on the scientific and industrial revolution that happened in Europe, and look where we are now. The only way for us to eradicate poverty and re-establish ourself as an economic giant, is to invest in science and technology and brainpower.

The presence of methane has not been conclusively confirmed. Anyway the MAVEN probe that NASA sent and reached mars two days ago, has much more sophisticated sensors than ours. They have sent 20+ probes to Mars earlier, while this is India's first attempt. The odds are that it would be NASA that verifies the presence of Methane. ISRO has treated this mission as a stepping stone - a platform from which to leapfrog to new heights, a "proof of concept" that we have the expertise and knowledge base to undertake such complex missions. The biggest achievement of today is that we were able to hurl an object towards Mars, and put it in orbit around the red planet; future missions will be much more complex, and much more rewarding in terms of concrete results.

The Mars Orbiter Mission complements readings from MAVEN and Mars Express. The orbit MOM has chosen will allow it to sample the atmosphere at different altitudes.

Give you loan money to invest do not develop the economy, so many people did not eat but also to launch a satellite, North Korea the same country?

We would be happy to loan you some money to learn better english.

Are you kidding me? Mr. pauper

Not at all. I'm serious.

First of all, I'm not Chinese. And that mission is a Russian mission with a Chinese payload. First example, many countries had build satellite but only a handful is able to launch a satellite into space. There is a big difference between the two.

 

[Always Neutral]

Jesus Harold Christ, you actually took that joke at face value?

BTW it was not ISRO that compared it to the movie. They have better things to do than cracking jokes that some people may take seriously. You know, like sending satellites to orbit planets.


Please tell me what these "NASA calculations available on the net" are?


Unfortunately, PDF allows only one sig - so I can't accommodate all the stupidities spouted by butthurt boys.

Another idiot who believes in why fart and waste it but why not burp and taste it. Check the article by the Director of Mars Mission who is also married to the ISRO chiefs daughter. Indian Mars mission is like Tata building the Nano. Nothing to crow about but a good accomplishment.

Sorry, not interested in your namecalling and abuses.

BTW answer my question about the "NASA calculations available on the net".

 

[Always Neutral]

1. Gravity did not earn a billion dollars.
2. Mars Express by ESA Cost 300 Million dollars and was touted as example of cheap.
3. Scientific endeavors are not based on profitability.

In short, fail on facts, fail on logic.

Are you scottish.

Another Indian idiot as defined Katju

Gravity has earned nearly a billion which my comment. It has earned USD 750 million as of Feb 2014

On February 17, 2014, the film grossed $700m worldwide.[65] Gravity grossed $274,092,705 in North America and $442,300,000 in other countries, making a worldwide gross of $716,392,705—making it the eighth-highest grossing film of 2013.[3]

What will MOM do? Tata makes the Nano but the world invented the car 200 years ago. HAL cant make a plane yet but Wright Bothers did it 100 years ago.



Read the article the Mars Mission Director posted or chill and donate some toilets to your homeland.

1. Anybody who has spend enough time in this forum can spot a wolf in sheep's clothing .

2. Chinese satellite , Russian mission .... does not matter . First Chinese satellite launched to mars failed .
