:mad: what a shamefully backward way of releasing 21st century data:
Look at THIS picture taken by NASA's Lunar Orbiter 1 in 1966:
Lunar Orbiter was launched only 9 years after the first ever satellite launch.. sputnik, and look at this image recently recovered from its tape recorders.

And look at India's Chandrayaan image releases:
Chandrayaan is launched 41 years after the space age began, and more than 15 years of India participating in spaceflight and also considering the standards of today!!
http://www.isro.org/pslv-c11/photos/imagesfromchandrayaan/tmc-polar-region.jpg
Now there's a problem!
it's in the the attitude,
the camera on the other hand is pretty good I bet. ;)
Of course its not fair to compare NASA and ISRO
But come on give me a break and make us believe ISRO is LEADING in many fields.. they don't care tuppence that people should know and appreciate it. :rolleyes:
