ISRO has done it and Chandrayan 3’s lander Vikram made a soft landing on the moon’s South Pole, as planned and we are already witnessing some rare glimpses of this dark, unexplored part of the moon much to the world’s awe and delight.
While there’s so much on all forms of media regarding Chandrayan 3’s journey , it’s ultimate soft landing and relating technical details, I thought the best tribute that I can pay to our ISRO scientists will be by composing a few lines in their honour and in the honour of their mission. It reads:
When Armstrong landed on the moon, it was
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
And the entire world celebrated the event
For it was one bright spot of its kind.
And the quest to know more about moon
Continues in our country too that adores “Chandamama”
To see the unexplored terrains of
Children’s favourite uncle nee “ Mama”
Chandrayan 2 almost reached there but crashed
At the last moment just before reaching home
But Chandrayan 3 has landed in Lunar South Pole
Creating a bright spot by landing in dark zone
Congratulations to our scientists and entire countrymen on this defining moment for the country’s space quest.
