Hoping for a successful landing! I love how ambitious ISRO it with what little money they get from the government
Dope. The more stellar exploration, the better. I don’t care who is doing it as long as it’s happening. I wish someone would find a huge vein of some valuable resource on the moon or mars so it would hurry up the exploitation crowd that typically drives expansion…
I wonder what happened to the U.S. initiative to mine helium-3 from the moon? There was a plan to create a moon base a few years ago specifically for that.
Isn’t Helium-3 mainly used for fusion reactors? So as long as fusion reactors are still just in an early prototype phase, such a mining operation is probably not really lucrative.
There is a lot of countries in the world that still use nuclear fusion, and despite doomsayers it’s still the best option for the future…
edit: to correct Fission > Fusion
Do you have a source for that? I can only find info about it being used for fusion.
If successful, India will be the fourth country to land on the Moon besides the US, the USSR, and China.
(China has had rovers on the Moon since 2013)
