New Chairman for ISRO

Dr. Radhakrishanan.



Let me put the cat out of the bag right away! I would have loved to have been the Chairman!!!



Oh well ... may be, in my next incarnation ...



ISRO is of course doing quite well ... achieving laurels for the country. One looks forward to a successful completion of the GSLV launch with an indigenously built cryogenic stage.



That will eventually be used to power a true ICBM of course ...



Next, one looks forward to a manned space program ... all our own.



I don't know about sending Indians to the Moon though ...

At the height of the Cold War, NASA was able to achieve that feat only because National Pride was at stake.

Even the mighty Soviet Union has never managed to achieve that feat!!! Quite extraordinary when you come to think of that!!!

Let's us see if China and India are able to overtake Russia in that regard ...
