While Congress and BJP fought bitterly to take credit for Mangalyaan, the real man whose vision has brought Indian space program to where we are today was conveniently forgotten. Three cheers for Dr Vikram Sarabhai and the hundreds of people in ISRO who have made Mangalyaan a reality . Quoting Dr Vikram Sarabhai: There are some who question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the Moon or the planets or manned space-flight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society.
