India found water on the moon when NASA said there was none. Now all eyes are looking towards the Red Planet. As the Indian Space Research Organization launches its first ever Mars Orbiter Mission, the world is taking interest.
The session will answer several questions like just why does India want to send a mission to Mars? What new insights into Mars might be revealed by the Indian mission? Are there any concerns? Will there be further missions to Mars and the Moon?
