I don’t know what to say
Destination: Mars
India is now well on its way to having an interplanetary presence. The country has successfully launched the Mars Orbiter Mission, a reconnaissance satellite that will orbit the Martian atmosphere for elusive chemicals.
The integration of the five scientific instruments was completed at ISRO Satellite Centre, Bangalore, and the finished spacecraft was successfully launched from Sriharikotta on 5 November 2013.
India's space agency would be just the fourth to reach the planet -- a symbolic win over countries like China, whose interplanetary missions have fallen short.
This newfangled micro-blog is either (1) a chance to test my creative web skills, (2) a space where I can throw my deepest thinking (sort of like my philosophy) of my deepest soul, (3) a cool to place to express what I see through the lens of my camera (did you know that iPhone is the most popular camera in the world?!), or (4) some mixture of everything.
If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings.
(and of course parentheses)

Whether it take two hundred thousand parts, eight hundred thousand hours of super-computing time, 3 million lines of code, 40 thousand sets of eyes or a million sleepless nights. Whether its building the world's most advanced satellite, the space station or the next leap in unmanned systems, as an engineer one thing never changes, our passion to make it real.
In a nutshell or two: I love aerospace. I'm an engineer, writer, a photographer, and a reader. And, of course, a blogger. I spent my high school years in New York City, managing to defy every urban bum new yorker stereotype (except for the "bum" part). My school life basically revolved around Aviation and Science Bowl. If you continue to read this, I can assure you three (3) things: (1) impeccable grammar (yea, ok) and spelling (thanks to auto spell check), (2) a total lack of entertainment (literally, everyone’s view of entertainment is different), (3) an alliteration of photos, and (4) so many listings.
