ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

Thailand is one of the first ag countries to enter a planting season since the Iran war. We went to document the impact of supply shocks to fuel/fertilizer — It was worse than I anticipated.
Farmers are leaving huge tracts of land barren bc they can’t afford to plant.
@cvkrishnan We haven’t really started out much on offshore rig modules yet. I would say we are at a very early stage. No where close to China, Sin, Korea.
@cvkrishnan Shipyards can employ 1000s of people directly per project and more indirectly! So this is the right type of industry to provide employment numbers we need in India!
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
The ultimate outcome of the last twenty years of explainer journalism, long form journalism, data journalism and all of that is “grok is it true”.
Heartbreaking.
