Indiaâs Chandrayaan-3 mission had to do one incredibly difficult thing: touch down on the moon. When it did, the cheers at mission control in Bengalaru could be heard in Washington and Beijing, Moscow and Tokyo, and on 8 million video screens, where coverage of the landing was streamed live on YouTube by the Indian Space Research OrganizationâISRO for short.
yes, but they desperately need to work on their special effects videos.

Last
month, the spacecraft - exploring the universe since 1977 - tilted its
antenna to point two degrees away from Earth after the mistake was made. As a result, the probe has stopped receiving commands or sending data.
This why most space crafts crash when they set measurements in Standard but transmit it as metric.
Not a NASA launch, and it's not a NASA site. Elon said a while back he didn't believe a flame trench (pit) would be necessary,
SpaceX is currently building out launch facilities for the Super Heavy Starship at KSC pad 39A. It will have the water deluge system today's launch at Boca Chica was missing. https://spaceflightnow.com/202...
When the launch mount at Boca Chica is repaired and returned to service, it too should have a water deluge system.
For comparison, before today's launch of B7/S24, the most powerful rocket to lift off (it also exploded!) was the Soviet N1 (circa 1969-72). The N1 had a multiple flame trench design.
I wonder if this idea of having so many rocket engines coupled together is such a wise idea. Maybe Saturn's approach of five or so bigger engines is the way to go.
Didn't the old NASA launches always toss a couple of Olympic swimming pools of water into the pit upon launch or something? Why did they stop doing that?
