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.

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

We Are Not Running Out of Time—We’re Wasting It

In a world teeming with opportunities, it’s not time that we lack, but the wisdom to seize the moment. We often hear the refrain, “We’re running out of time,” as if the hours slip through our fingers like grains of sand. But the truth is, we have ample time; we’re just not using it effectively. Instead of harnessing the abundant opportunities around us, we find ourselves bogged down by distractions, procrastination, and indecision. Consider the metaphor: we are knee-deep in water, yet crying for sheep. The water represents the wealth of resources, knowledge, and chances that surround us. Yet, rather than utilizing what’s at our disposal, we waste time lamenting what we don’t have, or worse, chasing after things that don’t truly matter. This misplaced focus leads to frustration and a sense of urgency that is entirely self-imposed. The real crisis isn’t a shortage of time, but a failure to make the most of what we have. Every moment we waste is a moment we could have spent building, lear...
