Watch as construction and ground workers begin to move up to 80 pounds of soil from the base of a fallen tree. It will become their new home in just a few days. Previous soil residents, beware!

"સોમવારે વૈજ્ઞાનિકો પાસે યાન લૉન્ચ કરવા માટે માત્ર જૂજ મિનિટોની તક હશે, જેમાં અતિશય ચોકસાઈ સાથે કામ કરવું પડશે. આ વખતે મોડું કરવાનો સમય નહીં હોય તેથી જ બધી જ તૈયારીઓ સાથે સજ્જ રહેવું" 16 જુલાઈના રોજ સવારે લૉન્ચ કરવાના બે કલાક પહેલાં વૈજ્ઞાનિકોને હિલિયમની ગૅસ ચૅમ્બરમાં દબાણ ઘટતું જણાતા આ મિશન રોકી દેવાયું હતું. વિલંબ છતાં આ યાન 6 સપ્ટેમ્બરે જ ચંદ્ર પર પહોંચશે, હવે તેનો માર્ગ બદલવામાં આવ્યો છે. ચંદ્રયાન-1 એ ચંદ્રની સપાટી પર પાણીના અવશેષોના પુરાવા આપ્યા હતા, તેથી વિશ્વના વૈજ્ઞાનિકોની નજર ચંદ્રયાન-2 પર છે.   ભારતીય અંતરિક્ષ મિશન હેઠળ મીલનો પત્થર માનવામાં આવતા મિશન ચંદ્રયાન-2ની લોંચિંગ થવામાં હજુ બસ થોડાક જ કલાક રહી ગયા હતા. બધી તૈયારીઓ...
