Default Indian Flag finally on the Moon - very heartening moment for all Indians

It was really very heartening moment for all Indians last night when at around 8.30 pm IST, MIB(Moon Impact Probe) weighing around 29 kgs. and the size of a television touched the surface of the moon.

India is just the 5th nation in the world to have landed on the moon after US, former Soviet Union, Japan (albeit via a malfunction that sent its orbiter crashing onto the lunar surface) and the European Space Agency.

Regards,

Walker

It is quite an achievement even if it is not going to help the average Indian in any way. India is half a century behind the rest of the world in achieving this feat. And most of the world have abandoned their plans for moon after finding out that there is not much of any point in going there.

Really! I'm not so attuned to the news nowadays that this is the first time I've heard that India was able to fly their flag on the moon.. Congratulations to all the Indians out there! This is such a great feat, being the fifth country to ever fly their flag on the moon. Its great to hear that one of the developing countries has become so technologically-advanced. Hope other countries could and could be able to achieve this also. Again, my kudos to India for this great achievement!

There is no Indian flag flying on the moon, they crashed a satellite on the moon - wow, what a feat. I might applaud when they actually walk on the moon, but then again that was done 60 years ago. Sorry, nothing really heart warming here - so I think I'll move along to the next thread.

Seriously, whats so heart warming about crashing crap into the moon? And you guys did not plant a flag on the moon either - so lying must warm your soul.

If you compare the region where India is, you have to admit India is quite an exception. Think where were they even 30 year ago. India has improved their condition dramatically by their hard work and emerging as a superpower in the world. No wonder an Indian is going to walk on the moon very soon. Congratulation for their achievement.

Its a good news for India and for Indians. After independence, India has improved a lot in technology. And its good that India's flag is on the moon. This is definitely a good landmark for Indians.

India is a developing country, and now it has crossed many countries in the field of technology. I am proud to be an Indian.

Wow. i almost can't believe it.
A lot of countries aren't really participating in what this is all about.
Great achievement though but what do they do there, Its not like there's a contest upon landing on the surface of the moon but what is their purpose of getting there? Do we have a chance to own the moon?

i cant wait what russel peters have to say.
