The story began back in 1962, when the Indian National Committee for
Space Research (INCOSPAR) was established. Homi Bhabha, then the father
of India's nuclear program, along with Vikram Sarabhai, took into
consideration number of sites situated in Kerala to construct a rocket
station. After long discussion they both finalized Thumba as the
appropriate place.

However there was a small problem. It was the natives of this place,
the fisherfolks, who needed to be convinced somehow, since they were
emotionally attached to this place, especially the St Mary Magadelene's
Church. But it turned out to be not that a big deal since they were
easily convinced, when Bhabha spoke to all of them at a Sunday
congregation, elaborating on the benefits of a space program.

This moment forth, the small Thumba village became the mainstay for
the team of rocket scientists, including A P J Abdul Kalam. The
villagers who were relocated, were really supportive of it and their
small place of worship became, Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching
Station.

In November 1963, the first sounding rocket, Nike Apache supplied by
NASA, was launched, following which many sounding rockets that examine
the atmosphere, lifted off from Thumba including those from the US,
Russia, Japan, France and Germany.

Thumba today has become a modern station, from where sounding rockets take off very often.

"After the Apollo landings, people
thought they knew a fair bit about the Moon - they'd seen people
walking around up there," Manuel Grande, the lunar scientist from
Aberystwyth University told 'The Times'.

"But the more they looked at the
results in detail, people realised the things we don't understand --
like where it came from, or the possible existence of water," he said.

Professor Grande's machine will take
images of the entire Moon, analysing its glow to detect the presence of
six key elements - iron, titanium, calcium, magnesium, silicon and
aluminium.

He hoped that the results will help to
solve the riddle of whether the Moon is an alien body that collided
with the Earth, or is part of the Earth that was broken off after a
collision with another body.

The United States' Apollo missions
landed on the Moon six times between 1969 and 1972, but always explored
the same area - on the near side and on its equator - to ease the
return to Earth.

The Chandrayaan's findings might soon
help to support human life on the Moon-- for example, at a manned base
that Nasa is planning to build.

"I don't expect there to be an
independent republic of the Moon in my lifetime," he said. "But I do
think there may be more and more manned bases on the Moon in the next
20-30 years."

When
Chandrayaan is launched on October 22 from the Satish Dhawan Space
Centre here, about 80 km from Chennai, it will boost international
space cooperation by carrying 11 scientific devices, six of them from
European and American organisations, to study the earth`s nearest
celestial neighbour while it orbits 100 kms above the moon.

One
of the lunar orbiter`s key missions will be to map the moon. `During
the two-year expedition, the 11 devices will be used to prepare a
three-dimensional atlas of both near and far side of the moon,`
Annadurai said. The maps will have a high resolution of 5 to 10 metres,
he added.

Annadurai said the chemical and mineralogical mapping
of the entire lunar surface will show where elements such as magnesium,
aluminium, silicon, calcium, iron and titanium are to be found.

`Simultaneous
photo, geological and chemical mapping will enable indentification of
the different geological units, which will test the early evolutionary
history of the moon,` he said. They will also help determine the nature
of the lunar crust, he said.

Los Angeles: A new study in the Journal
of School Health reveals that cyberbullying is common among teens who
are frequent internet users, with 72 percent of respondents reporting
at least one incident during the past year.

Online bullying was associated with
increased distress, as well as with in-school bullying, with 85 percent
of respondents who reported at least one online incident also reporting
being bullied in school. Most of the bullied teens did not tell their
parents about the online incidents. They felt the need to deal with the
problem on their own and were fearful of parental restrictions on
internet use.

These findings are based on an
anonymous web-based survey of 1, 454 youth between the ages of 12 to
17, conducted by Jaana Juvonen, Ph.D., and Elisheva F. Gross, Ph.D., of
the University of California, Los Angeles.
