Explanation:
Birds
don't fly this high.
Airplanes don't go this fast.
The Statue of Liberty
weighs less.
No species other than
human can even comprehend
what is going on,
nor could any human just a millennium ago.
The launch of a
rocket bound for space is an event that
inspires awe and challenges description.
Pictured here last week, the
Indian Space Research Organization's
LVM3 rocket
blasted off
from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on
Sriharikota Island,
India.
From a standing start, the 600,000+ kilogram
rocket ship lifted the massive
Chandrayaan-3 off the
Earth.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission
is scheduled to reach the Moon in late August and land a
robotic rover near the
lunar South Pole.
Rockets bound for space are now
launched from somewhere on Earth
every few days.
