for india, a success of chandrayaan three will position it as a global space power.een a push by the indian government to increase investment in private space launches and satellite based businesses. and the interest is only growing since the sector was opened up for private companies in 2020. the number of space startups have doubled. india's nascent space industry, which currently accounts forjust 2% of the global space economy, has an ambition to touch double digits by 2030. yesterday we brought the story of the british company arm trying to launch the largest ipo this year. the company designs choose for smart companies and game consoles. the company believes it could be the start of the next tech bowl market. alfred chuang is from race capital, a venture capital firm based in silicon valley. he told me why arm is considered such an exciting prospect. they are important in technology in everyday life. there is $1 trillion valuation right now, do you feel that the company is being overvalued? it's a very unique company and has done a good job of catching the wave

millions of hearts broke when the chandrayaan-2 failed to make that soft landing on the moon. look at what happened today. indiana is not only the fourth country in the world to make the soft landing on the moon. it's also the first country in the world to make the soft landing in the south pole region. a big accomplishment for india. just the first in many in terms of the space missions. it wants to send a mission to space very soon. a manned mission t, and also a place in the international space center there. so a lot happening at the international space station, rather. right now we have the indian prime minister speaking live. this is, like people told us, scientists said a moment of intense national pride. back to you. >> exciting moment there. joining a very small fraternity. thank you so much. let's bring in mike, a former nasa astronaut and professor of mechanical engineering at columbia university also a new book coming out in december called moonshot, a nasa astronaut's guide to achieving the impossible. let's start with the positioning. how important it is for india

their chandrayaan—3 spacecraft actually took off after the russian one did and was expected to land onrly a race going on and it now looks like the indians have far more chance of winning that race. i should say that india's space agency tried this mission before and their rocket crashed on that occasion which shows that this isn't an easy mission to achieve. but it is also noteworthy that the original space race was the united states versus the soviet union — this time it's been russia versus india. i cannot overstate how important space is for russia's sense of prestige. i would argue even more than it was for the united states during the great space race to the moon. the original space race of the 1960s. i happened to be in moscow when the space agency announced they were going to allow the mir spaceship to crash to earth and there was a furious demonstration outside the agency building in moscow. i had a woman screaming in my earsaying, "if we allow our space station to go down, it is the end of russia." she was speaking, i think, for many in terms of russia's sense of its abilitie

lunar probes for the soviet lunar program india for the first time in history country landed its chandrayaanpacecraft on the moon, moreover, this is also the first landing on the south pole from the earth's satellite, where signs of the presence of ice were detected, and this victory is a good slap for russia, because india actually landed its lunar spacecraft in the same place where the russians wanted to sit down, who sent their own luna 25 umbrella there in advance, but it did not happen as expected, such a ridiculous station, which has now been broken into pieces and is lying on the surface of the moon, and now the whole world is watching russia's largest fi in space, the russian federation lost to india on the moon, because india made a successful landing on the moon with its new flying spacecraft with an entry from the moon , that is, a significantly more developed platform, and thus india is now the third existing country in the world to have made a soft landing on the moon is the place of the russian federation in the middle circle of space behind india , in fact, most often spacecra
