GSLV Launch!!

Posted by Varumana- Usha

 Hi friends,

     Let me discuss about GSLV Launch today!

         India's GSLV-D3 powered by homegrown cryogenic engine for the first time failed in its mission as the rocket carrying a communication satellite deviated from its path and went out of control shortly after its lift-off from the space port here on Thursday.

"The mission objectives are not met fully. There are indications that the cryogenic engine ignited but the vehicle was tumbling and controllability lost," ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan said.

      The 49-metre tall three-stage Geo Synchronous Launch Vehicle blasted off at 4.27pm at the end of a 29-hour countdown but minutes later ISRO said it had stopped receiving data.

That's the way some work- Interesting!!

Hi Friends,

        I'm back! Let me start of with an interesting story!!

            One afternoon a wealthy lawyer was riding in  his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating  grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got  out to investigate. He asked one man "Why are you eating  grass?"

            "We don't have any money for  food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well,  then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you",  the lawyer said.
             "But sir, I have a  wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree". "Bring them  along," the lawyer replied.
            Turning to the other poor man  he stated, "You come with us also."

            The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.

            They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even  for a car as large as the limousine was. Once underway, one  of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, "Sir,  you are too kind.

            Thank  you for taking all of us with  you."

            The lawyer replied, "Glad to do  it. You'll really love my place; the Grass is almost 1  metre high!"
