Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Chandrayaan-3: India makes historic landing near Moon's south pole
India’s Vikram lander from Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed in the lunar south pole region as planned at 18:04 local time on August 23, only a few days after the Russian Luna-25 lander crashed into the same region of the Moon. The mission’s main goal is to search water-based ice, which is crucial for human habitation on the Moon as well as future missions to Mars and other destinations. The successful landing was achieved when Prime Minister Modi was attending the BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, summit which was being held in Johannesburg, South Africa, which the Russian president attended only online. He must have been proud of his country’s successful mission and celebrated by other leaders.
However, on the same day, in a northeastern state of India, 26 people were killed and more were missed when a railway bridge under construction collapsed.

Also, over 16,000 people died from
nearly 18,000 railway accidents in 2021 in India. India now surely is one of the
world’s top countries in rocket science but not so in railway safety.
