TOUCHING THE LIVES WHILE TOUCHING THE MOON.

      on india’s FIRST SPACE DAY…    

  

 CHANDRAYAN  III                            

Sky, the space we  look at,  either as  a kid or as an elderly,

Sun or the clouds dark or blue, or the moon and the stars,

An area of thrill and mystery hidden or probed endlessly,

Moon, the much sought after  in lullabies or in film songs.

Amstrong and Aldrin, crowned its face with  eternal glory,

Proving the world, moon is not out of reach or research,

Moon, oft yearned  for our adventure in space research,

We became the fourth nation to kiss the moon’s  surface.

 Chandrayan I launched an attempt towards lunar venture

Such expeditions  carry bad memories,  it’s a nature’s kick,

Maiden attempt, a flop, launched the second adventure,

Improving  to reach glory, a sportsman will vouch for sure.

 Third was launched, correcting the flaws, with more zest,

Chandrayan III, with its Vikram lander and Pragyan rover,

Were the first to kiss the south pole, yet it’s going strong

Crowning our space adventures and the brave astronauts.

 We never stop here, we aim high, leap for solar research,

Aditya-L1  launched with pride last year and with purpose,

Solar surface, solar storm  effects on earth  under study,

Gaganyaan, more to follow, we are soaring high in space.
