Chandrayaan-3 is more than just a mission, it is a symbol of India's aspirations, capabilities and commitment to cost-effective innovation. As the rover nears its anticipated moon landing, the mission is a shining example of what can be accomplished with the right mix of ambition and resourcefulness.
