From the article: "Scientists at ISRO believe that they could reduce the cost by as much as 10 times if reusable technology succeeds, bringing it down to $2,000 per kg." Wow! That's extremely cheap! What are SpaceX&#

There is major difference with being depressed and having clinical depression. I have been fighting the latter for the last few years and I can vouch for there being no cause. Example: I was with my extended family members in mountains of c
