A journey from Rohini to GSLV

Um....First impression I had on the image was . Looks like ISRO's journey from boyhood to puberty to adulthood
I think we should stick to images having the Isro markings and color rather than just the silhoutte .
But quite an impressive achievement.

Vikram Sarabhai { Father of Indian Space Programme }

There are some who question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally and in the community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society.
