Wish the 11th President of India Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam were here to witness this! He was the project director of India's first Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-III) which successfully deployed the Rohini satellite in near-earth orbit in July 1980. Between the 1970's and 1990's, Dr. Kalam made an effort to develop the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and SLV-III projects, both of which proved to be successful.

He would have been so proud. He was such an inspirational figure. When I was a kid my father used to tell me to be like Kalam.

I think so. An aside, your username tells me a lot about you :) I believe in self-taught knowledge.

His biography "wings of fire" is very fascinating.
