The Indian Space Research Organization has been surprising the world with remarkable achievements ever since it was started. Seriously, I wasn't really aware of such a department in India until my 7th or 8th grade when my long time ol' buddy Ravi mentioned about it. Honestly, I am still not aware of all of ISRO's accomplishments and history but, I do know that we ( you, me and ISRO as Indians) are soon going to launch our first vehicle on the moon to study it. Wow! this is a proud moment. Just over 50 years of independance we have advanced so much in space research, which took some of the other countries several years. Our scientists' zeal in space research has resulted in what we are going to call Chandrayaan-I. Obviously, the the roman number I that follows the name of the project ensures a plan on sequels, though not how many. India is one of the 7 countries to put it's property in space independantly on it's own indigenously developed launch vehicles. It's barely 2 more months before we put one on the moon :-). The news about our manned space odessey is in the article on the right. Sure we don't want to be far behind huh? Let's go whoop a#$ machis.
