India's Chandrayaan Lands Impact Probe On the Moon
yaksha writes to tell us that the Indian Space probe, Chandrayaan, has become only the fourth nation to land a probe on the Moon. The 35-kg Moon Impact Probe touched down in what officials are describing as a "perfect operation." "Developed by ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre of Thiruvananthapuram, the primary objective of MIP is to demonstrate the technologies required for landing a probe at the desired location on the moon. The probe will help qualify some of the technologies related to future soft landing missions. This apart, scientific exploration of the moon at close distance is also intended using MIP."

It also must be the smallest nation to ever accomplish such a feat!
Thanks to the War on Drugs, it's easier to buy meth than it is to buy cold medicine!
Is it a lander or did it impact?
When I book a flight, I want to know the landing time, not the impact time.

While the outfits are likely to be shiny, the ones worn by the women during dance scenes will be tiny.
If libertarians are so opposed to effective government, why don't they all move to Somalia?
Oh $hit..while you were on phone for IT support, your home just got foreclosed
Good day Sir, this is Patrick only.
What do you need IT support for?
To start your foreclosure paperwork?
But nobody walked away from this one...
We can only hope that their prosperity also brings them a feeling of superiority and entitlement as well as a strong desire to spend the weekend watching sports from their couches. That should slow down their ascendency a bit.
Now we see the violence inherent in the system.
That nothing compared to this image sent back by the British probe
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
O cmon Neil Armstrong's first words on the moon were " Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for... Sardarji aap yaha?"
