Youtube User: whatsupinthesky37 - Like most of us who wanted to see Comet ISON in the skies like the BOPP Comet of old.. Those hopes are officially over.  This does not mean space sadness ladies and gents!  Oh NO!  Big UPS to India and China for both successfully sending their Spacecraft into Space today!  These are MUCH more important missions then being able to see a cool comet in the sky I believe.   For the people of both countries and for science.  Space Science is controlled by so few it is nice to have some new players!
