Moon Landing Update

India plants flag on Moon • The Register: "India has become the fourth nation to join the stuff-on-the-Moon club, after the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in lunar orbit successfully launched an impact probe at the lunar surface this afternoon. The 35-kg impactor was blazoned with the Indian flag.

'It will signify the entry of India on Moon,' an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) official said, quoted by the Times of India. The probe drop was described as a 'perfect operation'."
