wow, this thread went south quickly. space exploration is important and interesting to most intelligent people whether they are religious or not. the fact that india accomplished this feat using less money than other space programs is a tribute to their ingenuity and technical abilities. even if all they get is a couple of pictures of mars, that is way better than many countries on a first attempt. i wish them luck (and skill) for this and future endeavors.
