One of the Zoho group companiee, Vipus Advanced Materials, is focused on carbon fiber composites. A retired ISRO scientist is one of the key people behind it.

Vipus has supplied advanced composite components to Skyroot Aerospace. So Skyroot's successful launch feels even more special!

Vipus is among the fastest companies to qualify as a HAL Class I supplier, with orders for LCA Tejas aircraft structures, and is working with L&T Precision Engineering Systems.

Proud of you Vipus, make Bharat manufacturing great! 🙏

Arnab Goswami raises some very important questions in the video below.

The choice for the nation is between sober rational people we may sometimes disagree with (even vehemently on occasion) vs an irrational mob, with clear instigation from forces that want to destroy India, as Arnab outlines.

Let me be clear: there will never be a government that any single person can ever agree 100% with. As an example, I have long had strong philosophical opposition to high stakes standardized exams, which (as countries like South Korea and China have discovered) ultimately result in "teach to the test" and extreme pressure on children. China has banned for-profit tutoring companies (used to be a $100 billion market in China) but continues with their high-stakes Gaokao exams. But that is a separate rational debate and I am a nationalist and patriot first.

There's no angle on this rocket that doesn't look unreal, but the drone view from yesterday's launch might be the best one yet.

Never gets old.

IMPORTANT🚨: THIS IS NOT MILKY WAY GALAXY!

You’re staring at billions of stars in the Andromeda galaxy, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope—and almost every one likely has planets.

Let that just sink in.

Shri Dharmendra Pradhan is one of the finest public servants I know. He cares deeply about the youth of this nation, and particularly about rural students. We have had many discussions on how to better skill our rural youth.

I am sad to see him resign. He has put the nation above self, and my respect for him is even greater now.

Thank you for your service Pradhan-ji, please keep fighting the good fight 🙏

“Either I will come back after hoisting the Tricolour, or I will come back wrapped in it. But I will be back for sure.”
— Captain Vikram Batra

These weren’t just words.

They were courage. Conviction. Duty.

A nation’s soul is shaped by people who speak like this… and then live those words.

Not a day goes by without being inspired by him.

We will remember.

Christopher Nolan on the ending of THE ODYSSEY:

“The end is talking about cycles, and you can view cycles pessimistically: History is doomed to repeat itself. But there is also something optimistic about those cycles. As Penelope says, ‘Civilization will rise again.’ There is rebirth and regrowth.”

The footage of this Starship floating on the ocean is insane.

After Flight 13, the upper stage made a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean, stayed completely intact, and just bobbed there with its cameras still rolling.

SpaceX called it the softest landing yet and the first time the ship survived in one piece like this.

Every flight keeps looking more like the future actually arriving.
