The four astronauts are: Reid Wiseman: commander Victor Glover: pilot Christina Koch: mission specialist Jeremy Hansen… Canadian

I love how you introduce the commander, pilot, op specialist, and the Canadian Astronaut.

Dude, when you were naming all the American astronauts' names and you got to the fourth guy, and his description was "Canadian Astronaut". I was dying. Like it's the trailer for a movie or something. I half-expected your following sentence to be; "He's a down-on-his-luck lumberjack with nothing to lose..."

The New York Times controversy was about India's Mars mission and not about Chandrayaan 3. And the New York Times apologized for that racist cartoon (they felt that India's budget was very low and their orbiter would not even go out of the Earth's orbit because they were using a less powerful rocket, but India had launched the orbiter with slingshot technology Reached Mars in first attempt and by doing this they reached Mars before China and Japan). Whereas the British media never apologized and their reports were much more racist and disgusting than the New York Times.

3:50 To clarify, Chandrayaan-3's expected mission duration was 2 weeks, as this is the length of the lunar day. It went to sleep for the lunar night in the faint hope that it could survive 2 weeks without sunlight on its solar panels. It is unlikely that the lander and rover will be waking up from sleep as the batteries are likely toast after being subjected to the incredibly harsh cold of lunar night, but this is however, expected and the whole mission was a huge success, performing exactly as intended.

India deserves some serious props. They’ve done amazing things on a shoestring budget.

How can anyone hold against India of wanting to join the scientific community I’m really happy for India and think it’s an amazing accomplishment for the country

When I grow up I want to be a Canadian astronaut.

The Indian Spacecraft lands at 69 degrees. I don't think there's any issue at all, I think it was NICE

India has always had a competent space program, from its inception to now; Impressive amount of working with what you got and getting done cheaply.

Hilarious role assignment :D commander, pilot, mission specialist, CANADIAN ASTRONAUT

0:17 wasn't it India who confirmed the water molecule in 2008? It well know to everyone

From the official Chandrayaan 3 info on the ISRO site, I could only find that they claim to have landed in the "south polar region" of the moon. I did not find any official release saying they had landed AT the south pole exactly. They indeed have landed far closer to the South Pole than any other mission prior to this.

Arguing over whether or not they landed on the South Pole of the Moon with the current socioeconomic geopolitical landscape as a backdrop provides a nice snapshot of human folly.

When just being a Canadian is already a job description...

British and Chinese salty about India's success in space

It is sad to see that all scientific achievement nowadays will always be twisted by politics but then none of this achievement will get approved and funded without the silly competition between nations or ideologies. Big congratulations for India and good luck for those who want to go to Lunar South Pole. I feel more excited to see more Lunar mission than Martian mission.

4:40 Captain, pilot, mission specialist, Canadian 😂

Fun fact - The robotic Space Arm used by the Space Shuttles, was designed and built in Canada, and is capable of opening a beer.
