They've finally done it. Mr Nair and his talented bunch of unassuming men (and women) have fulfilled their promise of landing the Indian tricolour on the Moon with the the first 
unmanned Lunar mission - the Chandrayaan 1. An entire nation had been following its journey to the moon with their hearts in their mouths and a prayer on their lips. With the success of this mission, India enters an elite club of a handful of nations and hopefully will be able to send a manned mission within the next 10 years.

At a time when the economic downturn and slowdown in growth is affecting so many of us for the worse, the Chandrayaan success also acts as a much-needed ray of hope, a major confidence-booster in our abilities and our future.
