Mission Mangal..."copy that" to those who are in the LCA program

The "sarkaari naukri" definition in a good light...just saw "Mission Mangal"...both failure and success shown in good light...only the impact is not probably 1:1 in terms of that feeling when a critical system goes bust...having a 450 crore rocket go to smoke is much much more than the raising of ones hair on the skin of the neck...fortunately the mission to mangal has gone very well...there are a few things that are at times purely funny and probably not allowed in the context of mission monitoring [rebooting a system through a power cycle]...this is like saying we'll reboot an jumbo aircraft in mid air and everything will just normally come back up since its "supposed to" :) [at least i hope that's not how things work...!!!] or well even the praying for the autonomous guidance system to work :) in reality these systems are tested, software simulated, re-tested as hardware in loop and tested some more just to avoid a failure scenario...this going out to all those coders who think validation is a thankless job :) this coming from the guys who brought up a combat aircraft lab from the dark recesses of forgotten dusty rigs to a system that was first generation weapons ready in six months after being assigned the system bring up task...all those six months would probably be summed up as one song in mission mangal :) ask those who have been there what it takes to shut down your thought process so that stars cannot mess with ones eyes into believing stuff works because one wants it to...what it takes to work in pain, mental and physical, and still have only one expression on ones face because one knows the part of the future where feedback presents itself...of all the things in India and of all the labs the one in Bangalore...well anyways...may you space cowboys reach many more heights and be able to say "copy that" for a lot more missions...from a lone stranger who was at the "gates" :)
