Today is a red-letter day in India?s annals. All the scientists who have worked day and night to place Chandrayaan I, the first satellite of India?s moon mission into space deserve our praise and accolades not only for their scientific talents but also for raising our country to the level of the few nations that have succeeded earlier in this mission. October, 2008 is going be etched in gold in the history of our country, as Chandrayaan is now soaring high in the skies to make the Indian flag fly high and flutter in glory on the soil of the cool moon.
