Modi talks about the lessons learnt from Chandrayaan 2 mission in monthly Mann ki Baat
FirstpostHe announced a quiz competition where the winners will get to visit Sriharikota & witness the moon landing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that the two “greatest lessons” he learnt from the Chandrayaan-II mission are “faith and fearlessness” and also announced a quiz competition whose winners will get an opportunity to visit Sriharikota to witness the moment the spacecraft will land on the moon in September. In his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ address, Modi said the way scientists rectified technical issues, which caused ISRO to defer its launch by a few days, is exemplary and unparalleled. The prime minister said 2019 has been a very fruitful year for India in the realm of space, noting that it had also launched A-Sat in March. In the hectic engagements during the Lok Sabha election, the A-Sat launch could not be a prominent part of the discourse even though India has become the fourth country in the world to have the capability of destroying a satellite three hundred kilometres away in mere three minutes, he said.
