Please post your thoughts about this

Only one word 'Awesome'
Seriously these guys rock

Meanwhile in India, they show pictures of solar planes to curious children and get done with it. Admission fees for the schools are no less, though.
I really envy the education systems in those countries.

What? a 2500 crore statue? where? has the government gone bonkers? we can build a fleet of 1000 solarplanes in that budget that too ones big enough to carry people inside them.

RCNeil21, 2500 crores for a statue is acceptable, 450 crores for a space mission is not

Didn't come across all the booing at ISRO for spending 450 crores on the Mangalyaan Mission? It was all over my facebook news feed!
