As India launched its Mars mission Tuesday, school and college students hailed the scientific feat and hoped that it yields successful results.
"I am proud to be an Indian today, and hearty congratulations to ISRO. It is truly a great achievement," Aveedan Shah, a Class 10 student at Delhi Public School (DPS), told IANS.
Another excited student, Shilpa Saluja of Amity International School (Saket), said: "Nothing feels more enthralling than this. India is now all set to invade the celestial world."
"NASA spent much more for its mission to Mars but ISRO did it for just Rs.450 crore. This is truly remarkable," Swarup Saha, a physics student at St. Xavier's College in Kolkata, told IANS.
Added Anant Singh of Hindu College in Delhi: "It is another leap in space research by India. With this mission, India joins the elite league with Russia and the United States."
"Hope we are able to find something more than what others have done," said Shweta Sengar, a third year student of the Jamia Millia Islamia here.
