    Finally!!!! India joins the Cryogenic Club-GSLV D5 Successfully launched

    I scanned the international news - google news, yahoo news. These two news organizations are most prolific in news gathering. There's no mention of India firing any rocket, let alone a GSLV. I guess it's not such a big deal after all.
