Congratulations are in order to the nation of India for their space mission (Chandrayaan-1) orbiting the moon that today dropped a probe onto the surface. It took 25-minutes to fall and is the first Indian-built object to reach the surface. That is a cool achievement very few nations have attained! Another great step in opening up space to all of Mankind.

There are some interesting photographs on the ISRO website. The Chandrayaan-1 satellite, with ten additional payloads of a kind different from the one dropped, will remain in orbit mapping the terrain. A job well done! (It is unknown whether Python was running onboard ;-) -Jeff _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
