Wow, Congratulations ISRO!

L110 narmal..

Launch authorised! Didn't realise that the S200s are this huge.

Apologies, A quick question. Is the ISRO live web-broadcast showing a history video now? Or did I got this link wrong.

Watched the Bahrain TV clip in Tejas FB page in Bed; a lovely thing to wake up to! Decent commentary as well; although felt like he was struggling to find any details to say. Overall, a good show.

And, TeeJaas!

Congrats ISRO! Can't wait for MKIII. I'm also waiting for good news about the 6m antenna deployment.

Arrgh, missed the live telecast again. Youtube vids will do. I wish they used proper HD cameras.

RIP sir. India lost a true son. I'm sure you'll inspire generations to come.

First of all, another perfect launch. Congratulations ISRO! :D What is the british aam saying in the comments sections? BBC does not allow/did not have any comments. May be all of those who criticize UK aid to India went back into their holes. There are still lots of comments about 'our aid money' &...

Missed the live telecast; any youtube videos out there?

My hearty congratulations to ISRO family.

EdiT:

Found a couple of videos in youtube. Yeah, the DD cameraman messed up the treetop view.

Loved it; especially liked the part where the Su-30 is flying in parallel to shoot the video.

The 2nd pic is lovely. Blackness of space, Martian disc and the thin atmosphere.. !

Most of the media seems enjoying the light-hearted tweets.

e.g.

Congratulations ISRO.... Proud to be an Indian. Stayed up late to watch DD! Can't wait for the pics to be released.

Had a little bit of fun reminding a brit colleague about Beagle when he mentioned 'Aid'.

Congrats to ISRO for another successful launch.

Interesting; didn't notice them when I read the news this morning. You can see them in this picture.

RIP BRF...

My worry is more about something as Large 777 with its transponder shut off able to cross A&N islands with no news from Indian Navy/Airforce. Hope that is not true. I thought the same. Even if it managed to circumnavigate India, it should've been picked up the Chineese tracking stations. Otherw...

Oops..

Mods, if required, could you please move this to the Humor thread please. Though the post is humorous, I'd like to get BR members opinions on what might happen in a real-world situation..

Apologies if this was posted here already. One of my mates posted this in FB today and I found it interesting. While this is a funny essay, how close to this story would you think the events in such a war will play out? Look at it this way. If military strength is compared to a no holds barred fight...

To keep the innards of the cryo stage as cool as possible in the outer space in which the engine operates.

Is this correct? I read in the Slashdot comments that the color should be white to reflect heat & thought it made sense.

Another long time (3+ years) lurker moving to the trainee position! Kind of surprised that the user name was available.

I agree with the general sentiment that tablets are pretty much useless! I bought a Nexus 7 last year (after a quite long research) to use as an ereader and a tablet. I used it for the first couple of months but slowly it was abandoned. Now a days I barely use it. The fact it, you have the Office PC...
