When Chandrayaan 2 partially failed, there was no uproar in India, as to why a poor country is spending so much on risky space missions. In fact, everyone's heart went out for K. Sivan and Team ISRO, hoping they would succeed the next time. This is not normal in many parts of the world. This is not normal in a poor country.
Even countries far richer than India have made tradeoffs when it comes to funding for their space agencies. It would have been easier sell that idea in a poor country, at many times across decades. Especially when India was much poorer than it is today. But we didn't even consider it. ISRO has been at it consistently, with modest resources and big dreams.
Thousands (especially children) gathered once again, to cheer for ISRO at the launch of #Chandrayaan3. People shared the visuals with pride on WhatsApp groups, even if they fully didn't understand the nitty-gritties of the mission. Religious groups are doing poojas and hawans for the success of the Vikram Lander. Again, this spirit - to cheer for science, has faded away in many parts of the world among the common public.
India must never lose that spirit of wanting to test the boundaries of scientific advancement. It has thrived in India since ancient times, it is thriving today, and may it thrive for centuries to come.
Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
'India๐ฎ๐ณ,
I reached my destination
and you too!'
: Chandrayaan-3
Chandrayaan-3 has successfully
soft-landed on the moon ๐!.
Congratulations, India๐ฎ๐ณ!
