“Warm welcome to PM Modi as he arrives in Bengaluru to congratulate ISRO scientists for the successful Chandrayaan 3 mission,” former Karnataka CM Basavaraj Bommai said on social media on Friday.
When the Chandrayaan-2 project was being executed, Sivan had repeatedly talked about the “15 minutes of terror” referring to the heightened risks in the last phase of landing on the Moon. He said those “15 minutes of terror” were applicable in the case of Chandrayaan-3 as well.
Daksh (18), a mass media student from IP University had been waiting in the planetarium for over an hour for the momentous occasion. He said, "I felt goosebumps when it landed. We failed twice but proved lucky on the third attempt!"
The BJP linked the feat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, and the Congress recalled Jawaharlal Nehru's vision and said the achievement of Chandrayaan-3 is a tale of continuity.
