#WATCH | On the successful launch of Aditya L-1, ISRO Chairman S Somanath says, "The Aditya L1 spacecraft has been injected in an elliptical orbit...which is intended very precisely by the PSLV. I want to congratulate the PSLV for such a different mission approach today to put Aditya L1 in the right orbit."
There is an aspiration in the Indians - to be the best in the world at what we do. It's with this same aspiration that two huge events are going to take place on the 23rd of August 2023. Chandrayaan 3 is going to land on the moon and Praggnanandhaa is going to try and beat Magnus Carlsen at the FIDE World Cup 2023. Both are extremely difficult tasks to achieve, but the entire nation of 1.4 billion people is going to root for them! :)
Why is it that what Chandrayaan-3 is trying to do is so difficult to achieve? Well, because it has never been done before. In the past people have achieved landing their module on the Lunar Surface but that was near moon's equatorial region. But what Chandrayaan-3 is trying to do is land the moon near its south polar region. This is not at all easy and has never been attempted before. The entire nation will watch with bated breath as the landing is planned on 6.04 p.m. on 23rd of August 2023.
In Baku, Azerbaijan, an 18-year-old Indian is going to sit opposite the greatest chess player on the planet right now Magnus Carlsen and is going to try and beat him at the FIDE Chess World Cup 2023. It's not going to be easy for Praggnanandhaa. Magnus Carlsen is hungry for the title. He has never won the World Cup before. But Pragg is in scintillating form. He has already knocked out world no.3 Hikaru Nakamura and world no.2 Fabiano Caruana from this event. If he beats Magnus on 23rd of August 2023, Pragg creates history as the youngest ever player in the world to win the FIDE World Cup. The game starts at 4.30 p.m. IST.
The landing on moon's south pole and beating Magnus Carlsen are both quite tough. But what the Chandrayaan-3 (ISRO) and Praggnanandhaa make us believe is that it is important to attempt the difficult. There are goals in the world that no one believed someone could achieve. But with hardwork and quiet dedication, you can let your "moves" do the talking. And who knows, if you achieve it, it will expand the collective consciousness of the world of what is possible and what is not! :) We hope that both Chandrayaan and Pragnanandhaa are successful in their missions today. But even if they are not, we as Indians are proud that they both are attempting something truly special.
PS: Isn't it an amazing co-incidence that the rover of Chandrayaan-3 is named as Pragyan! Or is it really a co-incidence! :)
