Sriharikota: India’s Moon mission

Less than an hour ago India launched its moon mission. If it succeeds then India will be fourth nation after the US and China to have its own research on the moon. Prior to this India had sent Chandrayan-1 and Chandrayan-2. The first one was to orbit around the moon and Chandrayan-2 was to soft land on the moon surface, but that did not happen with problem with the Lander and the final stage of exiting the robot from the Lander did not happen. This time India expects it to do successfully for a soft landing and then the robot coming out from the Lander and helping in doing experiments surface of the moon from ISRO stations on earth.

That moment of entering the fourth stage was a big moment of pride and joy to everyone who were involved from the development of the launcher to the robot that would be sending communication to earth. Sixty years before Vikram Sarabhai had dreamt of exploring the space on its own and it has once again been realized.

Before ISRO starts receiving communications from the moon surface and be able to conduct experiments we have to wait for another two more stages to happen successfully, first soft landing and the second and final stage of robot hatching from the Lander which is supported by an additional propulsion jet to propel the robot from the Lander.

Mortimer: The story of Walt Disney’s Mortimer’s flop and success

In the early 1960s, Walt Disney was at the peak of his success. His animation studio had produced some of the most beloved and iconic characters in history, including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. But as the years went by, Disney began to feel that his studio had grown stagnant. He wanted to create something new, something that would challenge his animators and captivate audiences in a way that his previous works had not. That's when Disney stumbled upon a character that would change the course of his studio's history. His name was Mortimer, and he was a mischievous little boy with a shock of curly brown hair and a devilish grin. Disney was immediately taken with Mortimer's potential, and he knew that he had found something special. But there was a problem. Mortimer was not the kind of character that Disney's audience was used to seeing. He was too wild, too unpredictable. Disney's wife, Lillian, was particularly opposed to Mortimer, and she urged her hu...

The Rust Shooting Incident: Misconceptions and Facts

The wrongful confinement of Alec Baldwin for three years in relation to the "Rust" shooting incident starkly illustrates the issues plaguing the U.S. judicial system today. Baldwin's case, which stemmed from an on-set accident resulting in the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, highlighted significant flaws in the legal process. Firstly, the prolonged detention of Baldwin, despite the absence of substantial evidence proving criminal intent, underscores the tendency of the judicial system to prioritize punitive measures over a fair assessment of individual circumstances. Baldwin's role as an actor and producer should have been carefully scrutinized to distinguish between negligence and criminal liability. However, his extended confinement suggests a rush to judgment and a failure to uphold the presumption of innocence. Secondly, this case reveals systemic inefficiencies and bureaucratic delays within the court system. A three-year detention period before ...

Prodigal sons: Einstein and Epstein

While it may be true that the names Jeffrey Epstein and Albert Einstein share some similarities in terms of their length and pronunciation, it would be a grave mistake to ever confuse the two individuals. The differences between these two men are vast, and their contributions to society could not be more disparate. Firstly, Albert Einstein was a world-renowned physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of science. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century, and his theories on relativity and quantum mechanics have had a profound impact on our understanding of the universe. In contrast, Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier who was accused of, and ultimately convicted for, multiple counts of sexual abuse and trafficking of minors. His actions were abhorrent and have left a lasting stain on society. Secondly, Einstein's legacy is one of intellectual curiosity, innovation, and humanitarianism. He was a passionate advocate for ...
