In a surprising move to counter India’s “Chandrayaan” launch, Pakistan today announced that it is launching “Sun-i-yaan” - Pak’s mission to Sun.

As India’s “Chandrayaan” (Mission to Moon) launch in late October made headlines across the world. Experts across the globe speculated some response from India’s arch rival Pakistan, which is world famous for carrying out misadventures in trying to respond Indian threat.

The speculations became true today, with Pakistan Space Research Organization (PSRO) announcing “Sun-i-yaan” program. During a press conference at Islamabad PSRO chairman said “Sun-i-yaan” will be Pakistan’s and probably world’s first mission to Sun. He however did not disclose budgeting or time line details fearing sabotage from Indian intelligence agencies. Though majority of nation were jubilant over the decision some sections of the society like economists were concerned about the cost of the project while the country’s economy is already in crisis. PSRO chairman responded that budgeting won’t be a problem and as long as America is involved in “War on Terror” Pakistan can extort as much money as possible from it.

Still notable space research organizations across the world including “NASA” were doubtful about the scientific feasibility to send a craft to “Sun” considering the extreme heat conditions prevailing. PSRO countered the arguments and said that in a revolutionary solution to over come extreme heat, Pakistani scientists have decided to design “Sun-i-yaan” in such a way that it will approach “Sun” only during night time.
