I wish countries were taken seriously by big G-8 nations based on, say, how much space exploration they did rather than how many nuclear weapons they have (the nuclear club).
India had nuclear weapons since 1974.
Here's an ISRO page with more details - http://www.isro.org/pressrelease/Nov14_2008.htm
screenshot or it didn't happen
I thought the same thing.
Where is a picture or some other direct or indirect evidence. Not only does it help prove that you did it but it's great for all the inevitable media coverage. NASA has seemed to have learned this over they years; they always come up with some graphic or image for their big releases.
After checking out the wiki article:

I found out it does have a camera. And that it's been tested:

Something tells me we're not going to see images of the MIP and the moon at the same time since the impact would likely wipe out the camera.
