India has gotten serious with space exploration

Two days ago India launched the Mangal(Mars in Sanskrit)Yaan(travel) mission to Mars from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, the first planetary mission for India. So far so good and it is exhilarating for Indians.

The rendezvous with Mars's Orbit is to take place September 2014.
