#3Today, ISRO's PSLV[1] launched five international satellites into their sun-synchronous orbits - SPOT-7 from France, AISAT from Germany, NLS 7.1 and 7.2 from Canada, and VELOX-1 from Singapore[2]. This was PSLV's 25th successive successful mission.
Here's complete launch video if anyone's interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR5S5nNbd4U (00:45:00 onwards)
This was 114th space mission of ISRO. Here's a complete list of ISRO missions till date: http://www.isro.org/publications/pdf/114%20missions%20Brochu...
Next up, I am waiting for GSLV Mk3 X1 mission in July, in which they're going to test new GSLV Mk3 heavy lifter[3] launch vehicle and a Crew Module[4].

This "very popular but seemingly not discussable" submission phenomenon is something that also fascinates me.
Is there a clever name for this phenomenon yet? If not...anybody want to attempt to give it one? 'Cause I got nothin'.

I also feel like many will wait a story out, to see the first few comments which set the tone for the discussion and give points to debate/discuss.

very true and every site is different w/ regard to how the community responds/handles link discussion but it does seem that sometimes discussion doesn't seem to be "a thing" for certain links.
It sorta reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googlewhack. Maybe it just needs a clever name?

It's because comments like "wow that's cool" are discouraged here. If someone doesn't have anything to contribute to a conversation, they'll just leave an upvote. Apparently 65 people thought "wow that's cool" but didn't have anything to add.

> 25th successive successful mission.
You added a word. What is more impressive is the current streak of 23 successful missions going back to 1999.

#9PSLV is still constrained by pay-load, it cannot carry more than 2000 kg loads. India should focus more on getting GSLV MK II and MK III to become more reliable so heavier pay-loads are delivered.

Any idea why the screen blacks out a few times from 2933 seconds?
