India launched its most powerful home-grown rocket this evening in a giant step for its space programme that one day hopes to put a man into orbit. The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle or (GSLV) Mk III lifted off from the Sriharikota space centre at 5.28 pm, ISRO or the Indian Space Research Organisation says. The 640-tonne rocket weighs as much as 200 full-grown Asian elephants or five Jumbo jets. It is expected that one day, perhaps in seven years, it will carry astronauts to space.
