A proud moment for all Indians
Yesterday was a very glorious and significant day for all Indians and every single Indian head held high with the great achievement of Chandrayan 3 soft landing on the south pole of the Moon. It is the hard work and dedication of 1000s of scientists and engineers at ISRO.
When you talk about ISRO, one name stands out prominently, and that is of Late Dr. Abdul Kalam, without who this institution would have never come to existence. When I read his biography, I was in total awe of him. He came from a very humble background, but he was visionary, and without him, India would have never reached this stage of space exploration.
First, the Mars mission and now the moon mission. Both these missions have been carried out with the lowest budget compared to other countries and have been successful in the first attempt. This puts India on the forefront of space missions. The scientists of ISRO are promising, and they will carry out many such missions in the future as well, which can bring India ISRO in line with NASA.
The fact is that today also in NASA there are ao many Indians working and giving their expertise to a foreign company. That day is not far when they would see potential in their home country and would want to return back.
Me and my family were all glued to our screens to watch this event, and when Chandrayan 3 touched the lunar surface, it was an exuberating moment for all of us. We all clapped with joy, and since then, there have been messages floating of this great achievement, as if every single Indian participated in the event.
When India had just started its space agency, the first rocket was transported on a bicycle. It was in 1963. Such were the humble beginnings of ISRO, and from then to now, India has come a long way and made big achievements.
India is the first nation to land on the South Pole of the moon, and this makes the mission all the more special.

When I read about this, it was so cool. The South Pole is the most likely location for human habitation and colonization…due to the many essential chemical compounds, especially water for human consumption and rocket fuel production.
And landing sites are incredibly hard to come by on the lunar south pole, it is covered with deep and jagged craters and trenches, it's almost in perpetual darkness, it has a very narrow line of sight to Earth for communications, and the lander's navigation system must have a very detailed topography mapping to land on a flat surface, so India making a successful landing is a phenomenal achievement!
Oh yeah, and it takes a lot more fuel to land on the lunar poles than it does for an equatorial landing.
Thank you for such deep reflection. Yes, this must have been a very tough job but they have achieved it and from here on many new things will discovered of space. Other nations will also now attempt doing the same and this will bring in new knowledge and hope for humanity
Thank you, friend!
