Look At Who Just Put India's Mangalyaan Spaceship In Orbit Around Mars

Have a look at the photos of India's engineers celebrating their successful insertion of the Mangalyaan spaceship into orbit around Mars. Who they are just may surprise you.

India joined the United States, Europe and the former Soviet Union in an exclusive club yesterday as it successfully placed an unmanned spacecraft into orbit around the planet Mars on its first attempt.

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who observed from the space agency's nerve center in Bangalore, proudly announced the achievement to the world:

"We have gone beyond the boundaries of human enterprise and human imagination. We have accurately navigated our spacecraft through a route known to a very few."

were 3rd class citizens in India. And then the learned folk of DU said that Mars would soon need gas station attendants. I guess some of those learned folk of DU have their learned heads up their learned asses.

learned equals racist xenophobes in this case.
