It is near about a year back when Chandrayan-1 was on its way. And few days back due to some technical glitches the mission was aborted before it completes full tenure, but before this mission becomes past, it created a remarkable history for Indian space science and International science community.
It gave a true proof of potential in Indian space science. Chandrayan-1 probe founsd traces of water across the surface of large parts of moon,denying all the earlier probe investigations which claimed that our nearest neighbour a dead planet.
It not only showed water presence but also found indication that water is being produced in lunar soils through some natural cosmic process.
This major discovery is much more bigger that earlier Lunar missions after landing of Applloo 11, because after Appollo 11 there were very less dedicated Lunar missions adn even NASA which is now exploring beyond our solar system couldn't detected water traces.
This discovery is reply to all those people who were saying Channdrayan is chimera. It was said that its a worthless project ,this money could have been invested somewhere else.
But the budget of India Lunar project was meagre comparison to other lunar missions and our this small budget project is giving bigger outcomes.
It has added another feather in the cap of ISRO and nations science fraternity.
It has further strengthened and motivated ISRO for its enhanced sequel version and has given boon to India's manned mission to moon.
There are still few who are in opprobrium with this success story, they claim presence of water can not be useful in anyway.It can't be brought down to earth, even man can't survive if water is present there.
But for future prospects this could be beneficial.Though today it seems unfeasible but in future it might become true. For international space stations it could be a boon because water bodies can be utilized for generating oxygen and life supporting ingredients.
Floating space stations can be settled on lunar surface which will reduce the cost of exploration., it can be developed as halt point for future space voyagers.
In near future moon can be used as vantage point to have a global view over earth.
All of us looking forward towards such sci-fi appearing futuristic moon and we as Indian sooner expecting our Tricolor flag flattering on lunar surface.
