Good stuff!! engineering components are always de-rated for expected lifespan... whether it be electrical, chemical, thermal, or mechanical stress. Especially in military or space applications, the idea is to reduce stress levels on the component by using them at well below their stated operating load so they last longer. This just shows that India's engineers did a great job with the engineering to ensure components were functional with longevity in mind, in probably the harshest environment possible.

this! i work in satellite engineering and people think “oh, it’s a vacuum, it’s the easiest environment possible!” nope! space is a simultaneously high temperature, low temperature, corrosive, dark, bright, irradiated, debris-filled, empty, still, and windy environment that’s always moving. oh- and if anything breaks, you might as well send up another satellite because it’s never getting fixed.

It is Indian, a suitable title would’ve been Namaste! maybe. But ok, enough with the puns: thank you for your work little guy!

Namaste is for hellos, not goodbyes.

Hmm, I read up something that differs. Namaste doesn’t literally translate to Hello, means something different. Source.

Yes, that's what it means. But we always Namaste in place of hello/hey/hi. We use other phrases for goodbye like, see you soon, have a nice day, etc, not Namaste. We can use Namste after saying goodbye as a closing greeting. But it can't be used in place of goodbye.

Indian /=/ namaste

It won't be representative of all indians but only to 35% of the population.

Besides, namaste is for hellos
