Larry: You are right. I am terrible with time differences, and got it backwards. I have corrected the post. Thank you.

The US central time zone is 10.5 hours behind Chennai – though India occupies more than one time zone, too – so that would make the landing at about 734am CDT on August 23rd if they are using launch-site time.

Thanks,

India deserves a win like this.
