#1 senior wire service correspondent Helen Thomas suggested that the US appeared to be acquiescing to India’s missile test ''in a very contradictory way,'' Snow retorted, ''You may think it's contradictory, Helen. You're wrong.''

Helen is often wrong...

#5 Ouch !!

ISRO had insured neither the Rs 96 crore INSAT-4C satellite, carried by the Rs 160-crore GSLV, nor the rocket. "We don't go for insurance for home launches," an official said.

The 55-million-dollar INSAT-4A, put in space by an Ariane rocket from French Guyana a few months ago, was insured by with a premium of around 16 million dollars.

Had ISRO opted for insuring the GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle), the premium for the rocket would have been anywhere between 20 to 80 per cent of its cost, depending on factors like the rocket's past record.
