    Yes. And it costs 73 million dollars. That comes out to around 12 Rs./km. That is what lower end taxis (rickshaws) cost in Mumbai.

    You guys should've outsourced the Obamacare website to us.

      I have a secret curiosity to know if Martian rabbits will show up on Mangalyaan's cameras.

    Yeah well...........

    We have 3D printers now so making a rocket should be pretty damned cheap for everyone pretty soon.

      He, he, yep they are everywhere just found a cute gray spotted one! :p Or odd's on l did! :rolleyes:


      It would be great to think that they will disclose anything they find, but l wouldn't get your hopes up.

      The US or the military has long tentacles, and a third world, (becoming something higher) economy is over a US barrel!


      Look at all the UFO's found in the world oceans, and how many of them have been buried or dismissed!

      It is Roswell all over again, someone says we probably found one, and then says he hasn't the next day.


      Best to create wealth and find one yourself, then tell the world before the socialpaths can shut you up!

      Hypothetically speaking of course! :p

        Next week NASA will launch another Mars orbiter, MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN), due to arrive in September 2014; at exactly the expected arrival of India's Mangalyaan. Is this a coincidence or strategic planning by nefarious sociopaths with long tentacles?

          Well, when the NSA PRISM spying program came out, ours was the only scumbag government that showed approval of the program. John Kerry could not have been at a better place at that time.

          Something tells me both the governments aren't that different.

            The official purpose of Mangalyaan is a "technology demonstrator" project for future manned interplanetary travel. And one of the officially stated mission goals of MAVEN is to determine what caused Martian atmospheric water to be lost to space over time. The orbital insertion date of both spacecraft is expected to coincide on September 22, 2014.

            Together with the Curiosity rover, which by then will have made similar surface measurements from the Gale crater with its SAM (Sample Analysis at Mars) instrument suite on board, they will provide collaboration of the scientific consensus that current conditions on Mars have a high probability of being too harsh to support any form of life.

            But, the real secret may be a conspiracy to hide evidence of advanced civilizations, exposed Martian spy communications networks, UFO installations, and those pesky romping rabbits.

              True, if we find out that there are rabbits on Mars it is the end of civilization as we know it! :rolleyes:
