Indigenous GSLV cryogenic achievement; more valuable than Mars Mission

Designing an Internal Combustion (IC) engine for an automotive itself is not that easy. For decades India was not able to develop its own successful and popularly used car engine, except in 1998 when the indigenous Indian car Tata Indica employed indigenously designed IC engine. The thermodynamics is not an easy science. The cryogenic rocket engine developed and successfully tested on its real flight by ISRO, for which we all Indian need to be extremely proud of, is easily 1000x complicated compared to the car engine design. It is nothing less compared to Sachin's 100th ton in cricket, or any such off-science achievement India is proud of. Cryogenics is a science which is literally a rocket science and no other engineering task is as tough as this. Mars-Mission success, though looks more tougher task, in reality GSLV success can enable India to achieve any space mission what others have achieved now. Now India becomes immediately powered with huge capability of sending a robot rover to Moon, Mars or any celestial body and also manned space missions. With GSLV, no need to do all that complicated multiple elliptical orbiting sling shots done with less powered PSLV to send Mangalyaan Mars Orbiter out of earth orbit. Indigenous GSLV cryogenic achievement deserves etching it on a golden plate and ISRO deserves all the top awards. We can do another comparison of th...
