The Indian moon mission has launched.

Here's to Chandrayaan-I! All of our lives have gotten just a bit richer as the Indian mission to the moon launched, carrying, in addition to their own five payloads, three from the ESA, two from NASA, and one from, would you believe, Bulgaria. While we can all talk about their concerns with remote sensing and various other projects, we all really know that this is, first and foremost, the entry of another player in the game of having a moon-capable space program, with all that that implies. This is just fine with me.

It's good to live in the future.
