Congrats all scientists and technicians of ISRO!!

 

[pmaitra]

I hope they put cameras on board that would record the stage separation.

I guess there will be one another mission, an orbital flight, with guinea pigs inside CARE, before we send an astronaut out.

Yeeeah! Gratz isro!

I wish they had on board cameras, and also the DD camerawork completely missed out the period just after lift off, anyway An experiment on an experiment (CARE and gslv) is a success!

GSLV Mk3 is a HUGE technological leap for India. We've been held back in cryogenic engine development for so many years by enemy nations' intelligence agencies. I'm surprised that the media is not going apeshit over this, and is treating it like just another PSLV launch. They're still giving a rats ass to 131 paki vermin getting erased from this planet.

Proud moment for us. ISRO rocks!

India is capable of sending all types satellites into orbit of our own and a manned mission is also on the card in foreseeable future but, the irony is that we have mastered in heavy lifts and cryogenic engine but we are failing to produce a credible Jet engine to power Tejas and upcoming AMCA. Hope our Aeronautics team learn some tricks from ISRO to deliver the same.

I salute ISRO.

Congrats ISRO, one step forward in putting an Indian in space and on the moon !!
