Here is a link, but it says I need a plugin I don't have on Firefox/Linux to watch the launch video. Yet I see NASA and JPL videos OK. ISRO Tullio ID: 1438297 ·  |

Nothing much to be gained by flying to Mars so I wonder if this is a form of calibration exercise by the Indian Space Agency. It's a good move by them and I hope they try exploring lesser tapped regions of our space rather than those already ventured.

It should be (hopefully) sterilized junk until we set foot on it. Then again it could pick something up (that is not from us) and drag it in. (^; ...

If there is anything to be contaminated on Mars, and most likely there is, it is probably too late to worry about it. So now if anything living is found on Mars and it has DNA, there will be arguments for decades that said life came from earth riding in one of our landers.
