Indian Mars Mission: Mangalyaan

Indian Mars Mission: Managalyaan

In Sanskrti, Mangal = Mars, and Yaan= Vehicle.
It's Budget is just USD 70 Million, where as Indian GDP is touching almost USD 1.4 Trillion, it's just 0.000005% of India's GDP. Thus, making it worth investing for future of India and the whole humankind, as the findings would be worth.
