PM Modi wished everyone on the occasion of the first 'National Space Day' lauding the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for making the country proud. "Our Government has taken a series of futuristic decisions relating to this sector and we will do even more in the times to come," PM Modi said.
The social media memes mocked Mamata Banerjee for confusing India's first astronaut with a Bollywood actor and calling Rakesh Sharma's famous spaceflight a 'Moon landing mission'.
India’s third moon mission, Chandrayaan-3, is scheduled to be launched on July 14, 2023, at 2.35 pm from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
