ISRO Pushing For Indian Satellite Industry http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/ISRO_Pus...e_Industry.html Bangalore, India (SPX) May 1, 2006 - ISRO is looking to jump-start an Indian satellite industry by inviting prospective domestic contractors to work with the agency until they can develop independent manufacturing capabilities. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

Well done BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7679818.stm Talks about the 'dark' side of the moon ( there is no such thing ) and puts a credit of ISRO on the image - when is should be Doug Ellison / RAL. The still was lifted from page 1 of this thread as well. |

Well done BBC... Talks about the 'dark' side of the moon ( there is no such thing ) From the article: Chandrayaan will also investigate the differences between the Moon's near side and its "dark side". "Dark side," put in quotes, just refers to a lack of familiarity, in the same sense that referring to Africa as the "dark continent" was never meant to imply that the sun never rose there. The image accreditation is another matter. |
