Chandrayaan-3 made history as it landed on the Moon on Wednesday, August 23 at 6:04 pm. With this, India became the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface after the US, China, and the erstwhile Soviet Union. A lot of prayers happened all over the world before this historic moment. At a speed of 1.68 kilometres per second, the Vikram lander started descending to the lunar surface. After slowing down, it started to descend vertically to the moon’s surface using power.
The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi addressed the scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation on the Chandrayaan-3’s successful soft landing on the Moon. This moment is precious and unprecedented. This moment is the strength of 1.4 billion heartbeats. This is the success of “Amrit Varsha” in this phase of “Amrit Kaal”. Our scientist also said India is on the moon. We became witness to India’s flight in space. I am in South Africa for BRICS but my heart is in India,” Narendra Modi was quoted as saying.
Chanda mama bass ek tour ke: Narendra Modi
“In spirit, I am with my countrymen. I want to congratulate Team Chandrayaan ISRO and the countrymen. India is continuously proving that the sky is not the limit,” Modi was quoted as saying. The sky is not the limit. This day will be remembered. This day will inspire us to move toward a bright future. We can all aspire for the Moon and beyond. This milestone will take India beyond the Moon’s orbit. Our approach of “One Earth, One Family, One Future” is resonating across the globe. This human-centric approach has been welcomed universally.
Our Moon mission is also based on the human-centric approach, which is why the success belongs to all of humanity. India reached the uncharted lunar south pole because of our scientist’s hard work and talent. Stories, myths, and anecdotes will change for the new generation. Earlier it was said – “Chanda mama bohot dur ke (the Moon is far away). Now children will say “Chanda mama bass ek tour ke (the Moon is just a tour away),” Modi concluded.
