Do you think the Indians took into account the "actual lunar gravity".

Only problem with the Chinese space walk is...
It didn't happen
Those that watch China's launches say there was no launch that day

To be honest Patsy it makes no sense to me either - gave you a star for your thoughtful post

Does it matter, for it is supposed to be an impact probe anyway. And the flag is not supposed to be planted, I believe, but to fall out. Just will add a little extra to the entropy of the universe

Dude, you are kidding right?
Here is a lift off video.

I didn't study physics because I wanted to outdo Einstein!

John Lear might be messing with the instruments

And yes, U.S Astronauts would be welcome to have a beer with the Indians in a bar on their Moon base in 2020!
But according to an ISRO scientist I met recently at Bangalore, he gave a sly smile when asked what if Chandrayaan finds that there are Moon bases up there? He just said, "well, no comments!"
So there! I think there's probably more than meets the eye here!

Sure it matters... If the impactor is designed for 1/6th G it might work... but if its really .64 G then WHAMMO bits and pieces scattered all over for the next generation anomaly hunters to find

In Business Standard (India) 25/10/2008: "NASA is on the verge of taking a decision to set up its largest non-US centre near Pune"
“Curiouser and curiouser!” [quote from NASA's secret handbook - Malice in Blunderland]
The NASA Representative in the Pacific Rim is based at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, Japan and is responsible for coordination of NASA programs and interests in Japan and other countries in the Asia Pacific Region. The NASA Japan Representative works with regional aerospace officials and industry representatives on key programs and serves as a local point of contact for NASA meetings and travel in the region.

The launch worked better the the Navy's Vanguard, Eisenhower would be proud.
The Arma and Rockwell gyro group should be proud.
US government developed technology transfer no doubt helped a bit.
Off the sweat of our blueprints.
Government sponsored Science suckers.
Rocket gyro secrets are not as guarded as the Tesla Dynamic Theory of Gravity
and Radiant Free Energy.
RFE is still sitting there in the patent, get it before the OSI takes it away.
ED: Good job, no need for AIG launch insurance. Wink wink LORAL.

Thats a cool thought regarding the next gen anomaly hunters! Might this mean that some of the wreckage anomalies "seen" today by conspiracy hunters might be from the "secret NASA program" instead of from another ET civilisation.
the five Pune teachers, who recently returned from the USA after attending the level 1 and level 2 of NASA's (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Space Academy for Educators' Programme (SAEP), organised in collaboration with Honeywell Hometown Solutions
The survey, involving a detailed analysis of awards from Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) programs announced for fiscal year 2004, and funded by agencies such as the Army, Navy, Air Force, DARPA (Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency), and BMDO (Ballistic Missile Defense Office), revealed that 75 out of 470 research projects, or 16% of the total research effort, was by scientists and engineers of Indian origin.
Overall the study reveals that Indian American scientists are playing key roles in transforming the US military into a smarter force for the 21st century.
