INDIA ON MARS!!!!!

Congratulations to all my fellow Indian friends. Our ISRO today became the 4th organization to land it's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) after NASA (Curiosity), ESA, and the SOVIET UNION. It is a matter of great pride for all of us as we are still a developing country. Friends, although we are still studying, but i aim on making my country proud and i'm sure all of you do so...

I'm gonna make this note a place for everyone, Indian or not, to share his/her views on the advancement in Space age, and their aims in life...

Thanks guys and Many more to come INDIA!!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

And what's exciting is that India's MOM is the cheapest inter-planetary mission, costing a tenth of NASA's Mars mission Maven. Given the high rate of failures only 21 of the total of 51 missions sent to Mars by various countries being successful, India has done it in her first attempt.

Did you know there is a running joke that the movie Gravity was made with the budget of a 100 mil., whereas our country sent a spacecraft to the planet with rockiest terrain in just 74 million...That's what you call saving!! lol:) Hats off ISRO and the involved scientists!!!

Well humans can see Mars through camera, colonization is way ahead of us for technology. It takes a year round trip and it costs $10,000 per pound sent there. And if they are in need of supplies, it is hard to get stuff there. Anyways, congrats.
