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."

Wish I'd saved a mod point earlier.

Apparently you weren't aware that this week is "Opposite Week" for karma.

I get a -1 Troll for pointing out a +4 insightful post directed toward my -1 Offtopic Post was nothing but a personal flamebait attack, that was hypocritically also offtopic.

Then later, I get a +4 Funny for a post about how my friend will be shanghai'd if he ever visits Turkey.

So unless you're aware of the announcement that this week is crazy week, you might want to hold on to any mod points you have ;)
