Fat boy in space: What Isro must do for people to remember its achievements

The Indian space programme has had many monumental successes. On June 5, we witnessed one of them: the launch of the first GSLV Mk III carrying an active cryogenic upper stage. Where were you as it happened and what were you doing?

Everyone had expected the launch to succeed given how assiduous Indian Space Research Organisation scientists have traditionally been.
