    India Launches Lunar probe!

    NEW DELHI (AP) — Scientists have better maps of distant Mars than the moon where astronauts have walked. But India hopes to change that with its first lunar mission.
    Chandrayaan-1 — which means "Moon Craft" in ancient Sanskrit — launched from the Sriharikota space center in southern India early Wednesday morning in a two-year mission aimed at laying the groundwork for further Indian space expeditions.
    Scientists, clapping and cheering, tracked the ascent on computer screens as they lost sight of the rocket in heavy clouds.
    "This is a historic moment for India," Indian Space Research Organization chairman G. Madhavan Nair said.

    Man, I've been so busy that I've missed this one. (See my original post: #-Link-Snipped-#) I was looking forward for it after China's spacewalk. Good to see more countries getting involved in the space race!

    Can't wait when they launch the lunar rover 😀

    Anyone got vids of the launch?

    I'm hoping CrazyEngineers hit the Mars and other planets in next 3-4 years.
