India moon mission - Chandrayaan 1

Below is what I posted at BBC Discussion forum about India moon mission. BTW, Star News (in Hindi) and Times Now (in English) coverage was best. NDTV which was highlighting the cost of the mission again and again seem to be upset about it.

I got up very early to see the live telecast of launch. Almost all TV channels were showing it live. Indian scientists were educating the viewers about this mission. I am expecting to see comments from some 'suffering' westerners who would blast India spending so much money on this mission while many people are poor in India. Just a info to them..India does not lack money..we lack the proper management or system where is money is not properly distributed..so back off and take a chill pill..

US Presidential Debate

Yesterday saw debate of Obama and McCain on CNN. Politics outside India is almost of no interest to me. But I appreciated and liked the debate of these 2 candidates. They were asked questions from people sitting there and via net. The answers were quite nice n to the point. Obama obviously won the show by suggesting the practical solutions and ways to implement them. I could see that he has a vision of USA in his mind. Where as McCain was relying more on reminding viewers that US is great nation. He had nothing concrete to offer other than playing the 'US Superpower' card and pointing fingers at Obama. He was suggesting the policies which have failed US miserably. Same policies resulted in the financial mess US is in today.

If Obama became US president,which he most likely will then it will be best for that country. US might achieve same admiration and superpower status under his leadership, which she was known for in 20th century.
