Every defeat is an opportunity to refocus and work towards achieving one’s goals, as the failure of Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission and the subsequent success of Chandrayaan-3 have shown, M. Sankaran, director and distinguished scientist, U.R. Rao Satellite Centre, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Bengaluru, said on Monday.
Mr. Sankaran was speaking at a function organised by Seethalakshmi Ramaswami College to celebrate National Science Day (February 28) that marks the discovery of the Raman effect by Indian physicist Sir C. V. Raman.
“Do not be sad about the opportunities you have lost; instead, do well with what you have got. I doubt the success of Chandrayaan-3 would have been appreciated so much had the earlier mission not failed. Every challenge is an opportunity to improve ourselves,” said Mr. Sankaran.
