Srijan
Pal Singh, Science Communicator
In conversation with National
Geographic, he expressed, “I would like to congratulate all scientists,
technicians, mission managers, everybody at ISRO and the entire country. I
think the whole country has galvanized behind this mission. There was much more
fervour even more than the world cup. I wish next generation to not only follow
the footsteps which we have laid but also go much further inspired by
Chandrayaan-3 and much more to come.
He
further added, “Eventually in 15 years or
so, we will be landing the first Indian man or woman on the moon, so that is
our future. The entire private industry of India will see a huge boom following
Chandrayaan-3’s successful mission and we can expect a lot of jobs,
opportunities and a lot of enterprises for youngsters across India.”
Rakesh Sharma, First Indian in Space
Celebrating
the successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 during live telecast on National
Geographic, Rakesh Sharma expressed, “I
am not surprised, because I knew deep inside that ISRO will make it this time.
I am already a proud Indian and I have become a prouder Indian now”. He further
added, “I knew ISRO will iron out all the challenges faced by Chandrayaan-2 and
will make this mission a success. Sharing his excitement, he mentioned “I think
I was born a little early because I’m already 75 and remarkable era of space
exploration programs begins now but as an Indian, I join my hands and
congratulate ISRO for the great success.”
Sunita Williams, Nasa Astronaut
During the live telecast on National
Geographic, Sunita said, “Congratulations
for a great moon landing. I'm so looking forward to seeing the scientific
research that should come out of this landing and the rover taking samples.
It's just going to be another great step in being able to have a sustainable
living on the moon. Many Congratulations!”
Chris Hadfield, Former Commander of the
International Space Station
In
a live conversation with National Geographic, he mentioned, “So, proud of everyone in India to watch
this successful landing of Chandrayaan-3. It's a historic and amazing event.
ISRO was able to send a probe to not only get to the moon but descend and land
on the surface and especially start to investigate and explore the most
interesting parts of the moon down towards the south pole. It's pivotal to
history, not only biologically, but also culturally to the world.”
He
further added, “It's a significant step
for all of us and India is right at the forefront of that. It's a very exciting
and prideful day and I am really delighted for everybody in India that they can
look up and see the moon differently because of Chandrayaan-3.”
National Geographic India and Disney+ Hotstar captured the nation's attention through Chandrayaan-3's planned landing with a special live feature which was live telecast at 4pm today.
