New Delhi, Nov 14: Congress President Sonia Gandhi
tonight congratulated the country's space scientists for their
spectacular achievement in placing the tricolour on the Moon's
surface.
"This is indeed a historic moment and we are proud of our
scientists," the UPA Chairperson said.
India marked its presence on Moon tonight to scale this
historic milestone after a Moon Impact Probe with the national
tricolour painted on it crashed on the lunar surface after
being detached from the unmanned spaceprobe Chandrayaan-1.
