Any information on how much we charged for launching these 5 satellites, especially SPOT-7, and how does that compare with satellite launch rates by some of the competing organisations?
It is also a little strange to me that we did not have any payload of our own in this mission.

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
The massive ego of Preet Bharara & Co. and SD officials involved in this fiasco means you may see indictments coming. Which can only be good.

Re: GSLV-D5 Launch status and post launch discussions
Congratulations to ISRO - the pride of our nation. They keep raising the bar as ever. I would expect ISRO to work at perfecting the GSLV - a la PSLV - before undertaking any major enhancement. Nothing succeeds like success. On the sides, i often wonder why we keep GSLV discussion thread in this foru...

Re: Breaking News - Osama Bin Laden - killed In Pakistan
US and Pakistan were never allies. US and Pakistan relationship, be it the Soviet-era in Afghanistan or post 9/11, is about being a team - a team formed due to mutual convenience and dependencies - convenience for US and dependency for Pakistan. Don't mistake the whole "war on terror" and ...

If ISI-Military Nexus got caught pants down, it has more to do with a sense of complacence that they developed overtime thanks to the perceived or actual stupidy of their CIA counterparts. 1.

Re: Chandrayan-1 moon mission
A belated Congratulations to the ISRO team and all involved (i just managed to login to my account with quite a liberal assistance from Jagan, thank you Saar). May they keep improving upon the perfection.
May i declare this to be the most flawless execution of any lunar mission ever?

It is not so good a sight to see a former formidable (and reasonable at times) postor relegating himself to the role of a clown.

Re: Indianness - a (simple?) survey
1. What percentage of BRF postors:
a) are women
Yeah, Admins had better come out with some numbers/figures.
I am interested too.
P.S: I am still searching for an answer to Indianness. Maybe i'll get one, once the India-WI cricket series gets over.
