India’s century record in space has caught global attention. Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, the company that has built a reusable rocket, was one who seemed impressed after the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) successfully launched a record 104 satellites from Sriharikota on Wednesday. “Awesome achievement by Isro, very impressive,” he tweeted when asked to comment on Isro’s 104 satellite mission on the micro-blogging site. “They are doing India proud,” he added. Musk’s Falcon series of rockets is a competitor for India’s PSLV rocket and its GSLV series.
