While his coronary heart was in the suitable place, Rajasthan Sports Minister Ashok Chandna made a boo-boo on Wednesday when he expressed his happiness over the fervour proven by the courageous souls aboard the India’s historic lunar mission Chandrayaan-3. As Vikram, the lander, and rover ‘Pragyan’ made a profitable landing on the moon, a video of Chandna surfaced on microblogging web site ‘X’ wherein the Congress chief will be seen hailing the passengers aboard India’s third lunar mission.

The solely downside?

The mission is an uncrewed one.

“Hum kamyaab huye aur secure touchdown hui toh jo yaatri gaye hain unko salam karta hoon aur hamara desh ek kadam aur science mein, area analysis ke andar aage badha usko sabhi deshwasiyo ko badhai deta hoon (If we’re profitable and we obtain secure touchdown on the moon, I want to salute the passengers. Our nation has taken one other step in science and area analysis and I want to congratulate the residents of India),” Chandna will be heard saying on digicam.

The unintentional goof-up by the Congress leader did not go unnoticed on social media as a plethora of users assembled and used the opportunity to make jokes at the expense of Chandna.

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said it was a historic day for country’s space sector as India became the first country to reach the south pole of moon.

The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is the third lunar exploration mission planned by ISRO following the failed Chandrayaan-2 mission. The mission serves as a continuation of the Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2019 and aims to showcase the complete capability of safe landing and roving on the lunar surface.

According to ISRO, India’s pursuit of space exploration will reach a remarkable milestone if the Chandrayaan-3 mission is able to achieve a soft landing on the surface of the Moon. The space organization also said that this achievement will mark a significant step forward for India in the fields of Science, Engineering, Technology, and Industry and will symbolise our nation’s progress in space exploration.
