Chinkis or unke all weather friends Minkis ko laga raha hai in ki Indians unki G@@d mara lenge... isliye congratulations dene bhi nahi aa rahe is thread par.
par koi unhe samjhao ki aaj hamara mood awesome hai..ham jayada bakchodi nahi karene

Then NASA wouldn't congradulate ISRO....

NASA congratulates ISRO for successfully placing ‘Mangalyaan’ into Martian orbit

NASA just lets India have the glory as NASA has done these many times before so its nothing special to them. They just want Indians to feel like they did it to inspire Indians. It's like a smart person doing a project and letting the dumb person take all the credit and the limelight.

Smells like rotting chinese street food all of a sudden

Congratulations India. The race is on, and both China and India have some achievements that the neither does not have.

However, in general, India has taken a shortcut:

This mission is purely built for putting an orbiter with a camera around Mars. Its mass is low, and thus its scientific capabilities are limited.

The mission utilized NASA deep space network for guidance.

The components of the MOM were not Indian. India does not have the semiconductor foundries needed to fabricate the components.

This orbiter was a triumph of Indian orbital mechanics planning, I must admit. However, to compare it to the Chinese missions to the moon, which involve fabrication of all components, ownership of most stations of the deep space network (with Yuanwang ships) and which have substantial science packages is still far too premature.

Chinese copy and paste and stealing others tech by cyber attacks and espionage.

Congrats bhailog

Somalia could have a joint project with NASA to orbit Mars and Somalia could be the known for sending an orbiter to Mars.
That doesn't mean Somalia achieved it by itself.

When India does this independently, then we can truly appreciate them.

Joint projects are nothing but to be proud of.

I was actually going to reply to your post but luckily I saw your ratings or rather negative ratings

BTW tell all these to your country's media men. They are still in denial that NASA was behind this success.

India successfully puts spacecraft in Mars' orbit

NEW DELHI (AP) - India triumphed in its first interplanetary mission, placing a satellite into orbit around Mars on Wednesday morning and catapulting the country into an elite club of deep-space explorers.

Scientists broke into wild cheers as the orbiter's engines completed 24 minutes of burn time to maneuver the spacecraft into its designated place around the red planet.

"We have gone beyond the boundaries of human enterprise and innovation," Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, standing alongside scientists with the Indian Space and Research Organisation at the command center in the southern tech hub of Bangalore.

"We have navigated our craft through a route known to very few," Modi said, congratulating the scientists and "all my fellow Indians on this historic occasion."

Scientists described the final stages of the Mars Orbiter Mission, affectionately nicknamed MOM, as flawless. The success marks a milestone for the space program in demonstrating that it can conduct complex missions and act as a global launch pad for commercial, navigational and research satellites.

It's also a major feat for the developing country of 1.2 billion people, most of whom are poor. At the same time, India has a robust scientific and technical educational system that has produced millions of software programmers, engineers and doctors, propelling many into the middle class.

Getting a spaceship successfully into orbit around Mars is no easy task. More than half the world's previous attempts - 23 out of 41 missions - have failed, including one by Japan in 1999.

The United States had its first success with a 1964 flyby by a spacecraft called Mariner 4, returning 21 images of the surface of the planet. The former Soviet Union reached the planet in 1971, and the European Space Agency in 2003.

The U.S. space agency NASA congratulated India in a Twitter message welcoming MOM to studying the red planet.

On Sunday, NASA achieved its own success in placing its Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission, or Maven, in position. The U.S. has two more satellites circling the planet at the moment, as well as two rovers rolling across the rocky Martian surface. The European Space Agency's Mars Express, launched over a decade ago, is still operating as well.

India was particularly proud that MOM was developed with homegrown technology and for a bargain price of about $75 million - a cost that Modi quipped was lower than many Hollywood film budgets. By comparison, NASA's much larger Maven mission cost nearly 10 times as much at $671 million.

India's 1,350-kilogram (nearly 3,000-pound) orbiter will now circle the planet for at least six months, with five solar-powered instruments gathering scientific data that may shed light on Martian weather systems as well as what happened to the water that is believed to have existed once on Mars in large quantities.

It also will search Mars for methane, a key chemical in life processes on Earth that could also come from geological processes. None of the instruments will send back enough data to answer these questions definitively, but experts say the data will help them better understand how planets form, what conditions might make life possible and where else in the universe it might exist

India wanted the spacecraft - also called Mangalyaan, meaning "Mars craft" in Hindi -to show the world its ability to design, plan, manage and operate a difficult, deep-space mission. India has already conducted dozens of successful satellite launches, including sending up the Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter, which discovered key evidence of water on the Moon in 2008.

The country's space scientists are already planning new missions, including putting a rover on the Moon. But space agency chief K. Radhakrishnan said their main focus would be to continue developing technologies for commercial and navigational satellite applications.

I'm really proud and congrats to ISRO. However, we shouldn't be boasting about the first country maiden attempt crap. The fact is that we were able to learn from the 30 odd missions that failed. Perhaps if we had been among the first ones to attempt it, we wouldn't be succesful. It's a great achievement, but the media gloating over it is making us look like a joke. True we are the 4th country to do so , but we are doing it 40 years after the first country did it, which shows there's a long long way to go.

Cost is another thing that we shouldn't be boasting about. Average salary of a Nasa employee - $100,000-$150,000 dollars per year, perhaps more. Average salary of an Isro employee- Rs 30,000-40,000 a month , so less than $12,000 per year. That we underpay our workers isn't something to be proud of.

We will copy and innovation, you will not even copy the toilet.

Why obsessed with toilet? what comes out of toilet is the national food of China? People say Chinese eat "anything", didn't know that they literally do.

 

[nasir91]

congrats

Congratss

Chinese copy and paste and stealing others tech

If it was that easy, then why doesn't India do it? It copies AK-47s, why can't it copy a semiconductor foundry? If you could, you would, but since you can't, you don't.

 

[ni8mare]

i thought MOM will be inserted at 8:15PM , and as usual i was sleeping till late morning

to kiya ho gia pakio ki to jam kar lenge ajj wos ka to koi late nahi hai na...

  China bought High speed Rail technology from Japan/France/Austria, and Chinese here have audacity to decry India's Mars mission.
