Well doen ISRO. Well done. We may be a crowded country, but you've shown us that we are still pretty good at managing space. #Mangalyaan

Please stop obsessing over cheapness of mission. Obsess over efficiency, success, intelligent design etc. Please.

To put distances in rough perspective ...if a 100 m big six at Wankhdede were a moon shot, a mars hit would reach Pune (1000+ times longer)!
