Oh, now THAT’S something to know.
India’s first big — BIG — space project has got off the ground.
Some time ago, in fact.
And is now in orbit around Mars!
Good for them!
But I can’t help think about the UK’s Black Arrow project: that launched four rockets, between 1969 and 1971.
We cancelled it.
On economic grounds.
Whilst simultaneously throwing money at Concorde, if I’ve got the timing right.
That makes my country the only one to have started work on a rocket programme: and never kept it going.
So … ? Good luck, and congratulations to the Republic of India.
