By now everyone knows Chandrayaan-1, Indian's first spacecraft to get go to moon is about to launch on October 22nd 2008!! but a site called hubdub.com is running an interesting silly prediction that aims to answer the question ?
“Will India’s chandrayaan-1 probe will successfully send data from lunar orbit?”
The flash widget above shows the real-time data of the prediction.
I am 100% sure it will be a successful mission. India has done it all alone and I know they will fulfill all mission requirements and objectives.
What do you say?

This is an animation of chandrayaan-1 rovering on moon with earth in the background, that i have created in javascript which shows chandryann-1 on its mission of mapping the moon.
Do you know what are the Scientific Objectives
The Chandrayaan-1 mission is aimed at high-resolution remote sensing of the moon in visible, near infrared(NIR), low energy X-rays and high-energy X-ray regions. Specifically the objectives will be
To prepare a three-dimensional atlas (with a high spatial and altitude resolution of 5-10m) of both near and far side of the moon.
To conduct chemical and mineralogical mapping of the entire lunar surface for distribution of elements such as Magnesium, Aluminum, Silicon, Calcium, Iron and Titanium with a spatial resolution of about 25 km and high atomic number elements such as Radon, Uranium & Thorium with a spatial resolution of about 20 km.
