(man over radio) Vehicle director
to mission director.

2
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,440
LVM3 M4 launch vehicle is ready
for Chandrayaan-3 mission.

3
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:27,038
(Yamini) Okay.

4
00:00:27,072 --> 00:00:29,120
Initiate 30-second countdown
to ignition.

Ignition sequence armed.

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:36,480
Engines at 100% thrust standby.

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,600
T minus 25 seconds.

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,520
Flight path nominal.
Guidance confirmed.

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,558
Stop, stop, stop!

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Ma'am, we need to
stop the launch now.

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,240
What happened, Arjun?

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,240
(woman over radio)
T minus 20 seconds.

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,240
(man over radio) All instruments...

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,400
Ma'am, we have to stop.

16
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,360
If we launch now, there could be
a collision with the debris.

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:51,758
You sure?

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,720
Just take my word on this, ma'am.
Trust me.

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,040
(woman over radio)
T minus 15 seconds.

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,440
(intense music)

21
00:01:00,542 --> 00:01:01,582
(woman over radio) Range clear...

22
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Stop the launch.

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,360
- (Yamini) Abort. Abort.
- What?

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,600
(music mellows)

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,600
(news reporter 1) We can see
a bustle in ISRO's launch centre.

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,600
After the Chandrayaan-2 crash,

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,600
all eyes were on
ISRO's second attempt

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,360
with the launch of Chandrayaan-3.

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,840
But it seems they've spent
this chance as well.

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,840
Due to some technical issues,

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,560
the attempt to move ahead of Russia
seems to be failing again.

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,760
And our hopes of earning

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,160
a place at the space table
are slowly fading.

34
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,360
Activate the collision
avoidance protocol.

35
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:37,960
Assess the new launch timing.

36
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,720
(man 1 over radio)
Mission director, telemetry.

37
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,240
Collision avoidance alert triggered.
C.A.P. active.

38
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,480
Copy. C.A.P. active. Hold sequence.

39
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Copy all stations. Maintain hold.

40
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,320
Collision avoidance
protocol running.

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,320
(man 2 over radio)
Telemetry confirms C.A.P. cleared.

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,040
No further conjunction risk.

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,600
The trajectory is now clear, ma'am.

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760
A four-second delay was required.

45
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,640
We can still do it on time.

46
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:00,878
Okay.

47
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,720
(woman over radio)
Control noted. All stations to note.

48
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,640
Mission director
has given authorisation for launch.

49
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,000
Five, four, three, two...

50
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,760
one.

51
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,400
Ignition.

52
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,880
(thrusters roaring)

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,440
(news reporter 2) A spectacular
launch of the LVM3 M4 rocket.

54
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,640
This rocket is moving
towards the Moon

55
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,680
with the pride of India,
the Chandrayaan-3.

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,000
(news reporter 3) Ignition followed
by a successful lift-off.

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,200
As the rocket climbs
higher and higher into the blue sky,

58
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,440
it moves closer

59
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,640
to the crucial milestone
of reaching the Moon.

60
00:02:46,674 --> 00:02:48,240
(girls squealing)

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,120
- (spacecraft booming)
- (indistinct radio announcements)

62
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,280
(news reporter 3)
Seeing this historic moment,

63
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,800
every Indian is filled with pride

64
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,160
because we are all watching
history being made.

65
00:03:00,194 --> 00:03:02,361
(all clapping)

66
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,960
(uplifting music)

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,800
(engine roaring)

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,240
- (all cheering and clapping)
- (music fades)

69
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Arjun!

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,680
Arjun!

71
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Congrats! We did it!

72
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,720
What... What was that, Shaheen?

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,960
(music turns tense)

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,000
I don't know
how I missed it, Arjun--

75
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,200
Do you think this is a joke?

76
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Did you forget what happened
four years ago, Shaheen?

77
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,200
Such opportunities
don't come every day.

78
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,280
It might be
a scientific instrument for you,

79
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,280
but it has people's sentiments
attached to it.

80
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,720
How could you just--

81
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Sir, just relax.

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Shaheen.

83
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,680
- (staff cheering)
- (tense music)

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,320
(news reporter 3) Chandrayaan-3
has set out on its mission.

85
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,760
We'll land after 14 days.

86
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,560
And it is said that, this time,

87
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,280
ISRO is quite confident
that we will land correctly.

88
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,640
(flight director 1)
We will be crossing

89
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,160
into the sphere of influence
of the Moon at this point,

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,880
as the Moon's gravitational force
becomes the dominant effect

91
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,040
on the spacecraft's trajectory.

92
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,680
(music fades)

93
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,600
(Mohanty) Is the summit
on the 22nd to 24th?

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480
- (Nishant) Yes.
- When is Chandrayaan's landing?

95
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,680
On the 23rd of August.

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Sir, I have prepared the speeches

97
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,440
on successful, partially successful,

98
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120
failures and partial failures.
Do you want to check it?

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Shut up!

100
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,480
You know
that we have to transform

101
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,560
a scientific mission
into a diplomatic mission.

102
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,720
Oh, man!

103
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:18,440
Did I apply hand wash
instead of moisturiser again?

104
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,800
Why do all the bottles look alike?

105
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,840
- Sir, sir.
- Yes.

106
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,000
- Call.
- Who is it?

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,240
- PM sir.
- What?

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,400
- PM sir.
- Oh.

109
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,480
(mobile phone buzzing)

110
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,360
Yes, Mr. Prime Minister.

111
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,478
Yes.

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,358
Yes?

113
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,120
Russia?

114
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Initiate final systems check,

115
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,240
and make sure
everything is in order.

116
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,960
Because once this goes live,

117
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,480
the world will witness
the next chapter of space history.

118
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,360
(mobile phone buzzing)

119
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,600
Hello, sir.

120
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,720
Russia is launching
Luna 25 tomorrow.

121
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,760
They have released an announcement.

122
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,920
They will land two days ahead of us.

123
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,840
Before the International Summit.

124
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,040
It's not science, Ramaiah.

125
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,160
It's geopolitics.

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,240
(intense music)

127
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,240
Yamini, we only have ten days.

128
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,040
Even after launching first,
we can't lose this.

129
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,400
We have to do something.
We need to save face.

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,840
Gather the Chandrayaan team.

131
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,800
And breaking news...

132
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,800
Russia has launched Luna 25 today.

133
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,160
Despite being launched
after the Chandrayaan-3,

134
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,600
the Luna will reach the Moon first
because of its straight trajectory.

135
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,680
It seems that India made
the wrong decision

136
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,800
in a bid to save fuel.

137
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,720
And with this, India's hope
of winning the Moon race is over.

138
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,400
(Yamini) So, this is
Chandrayaan-3's trajectory.

139
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,800
And this is Russia's.

140
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,240
If we want to beat Russia,

141
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,200
then we will
have to take a sharper route.

142
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,120
But, ma'am, what can we do now?

143
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,520
The machine has been launched.

144
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,480
We should figure out
if we can land in advance.

145
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720
The drivers are still here.
The car has left.

146
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,160
How do we make a shortcut?

147
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,880
Yes, the hardware has left.

148
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,800
But the software,
we can make real-time changes in it.

149
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,000
With the team's calculations
and Arjun's code.

150
00:07:24,034 --> 00:07:25,034
(tense music)

151
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,080
I don't get this, sir.

152
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:29,640
Are you suggesting that

153
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,120
we make changes
in the landing program from here?

154
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:35,800
It's risky,

155
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,280
but fear should not shut you down.

156
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,560
- Fear should wake you up!
- (bangs table, glasses rattle)

157
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,480
(dramatic music)

158
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,480
(rocket roaring)

159
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,560
(news reporter 3) Now moving on to
the ongoing space race.

160
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,120
Russia's Luna 25

161
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,720
and India's Chandrayaan-3
are racing.

162
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,560
Yes, the space race.

163
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080
Now the question is
who will reach first

164
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,120
and who will reach last.

165
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,800
Our scientists are running
simulations day and night, sir.

166
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,760
The team is calculating
new trajectories.

167
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,840
I don't want to hear all that,
Dr. Ramaiah.

168
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,440
Just make sure
that India is the first country

169
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,760
to reach the lunar south pole.

170
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,160
- That's it.
- Yes, sir.

171
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:22,520
(news reporter 3) Russia has claimed

172
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040
that their Luna 25 will land
on the Moon two days before India.

173
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,080
(Jairam)
Don't worry, sir. We'll catch up.

174
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,760
I just hope nothing goes wrong.

175
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,600
Last time when
that malware attack happened,

176
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,360
I thought
the foreign attackers were back.

177
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,200
I was scared, sir. Really.

178
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,560
Yamini ma'am,
to avoid this malware attack,

179
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,880
we'll send two signals from Earth.

180
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,400
One for Chandrayaan
and the other

181
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,880
- on the mirroring satellite.
- Okay.

182
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,840
When Chandrayaan receives
both the signals

183
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,320
and matches them,
it'll act on them.

184
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,400
- Double check?
- Yes, ma'am.

185
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,280
This is the only way
to save Chandrayaan

186
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:57,400
from a malware attack.

187
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Let's not shift goalposts right now.

188
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,120
- Ma'am, I've tried--
- No! No, no, no, no.

189
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Arjun, we don't have time

190
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,720
for your hacker attack
conspiracy theories.

191
00:09:06,754 --> 00:09:08,754
(suspenseful music)

192
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,080
(news reporter 1) Chandrayaan took
more time than planned

193
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,360
in an effort
to save money and fuel.

194
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,440
And it's starting to look like

195
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,320
the Russians are getting ahead
in this race.

196
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Their rocket is moving rapidly
towards the Moon.

197
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,840
Madhu, go to sleep.
I have some work.

198
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,600
No, I can't do it tomorrow.
I have to crack a code.

199
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:31,960
- In seven days...
- Sir, but--

200
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,360
...Luna will be on the Moon,
Ramaiah.

201
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:36,000
I've already been humiliated
once before the PM.

202
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,720
- If it happens again...
- Sir, we're trying--

203
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,640
...then you'll be answerable,
not me.

204
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,840
- Understood, Ramaiah?
- Sir, at least listen to me!

205
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,360
- Please.
- (line beeps)

206
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,520
Sir.

207
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,080
(music fades)

208
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,960
Pramod, listen.
Double check all the calculations.

209
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,480
I need the approved trajectory
by tomorrow.

210
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,600
So that I can prepare the code
for the advance landing.

211
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,040
(intense music)

212
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,240
(Pramod) Arjun,
these calculations can take us

213
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,280
to the Moon before Russia.

214
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,840
Integrate them to your code

215
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,800
and deploy to
Chandrayaan's operating system.

216
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,960
(dramatic music)

217
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,320
(patriotic music)

218
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,600
(news reporter 4)
The breaking news at this moment.

219
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,000
Russia's Luna has left India behind.

220
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,600
It has become clear
that in three days,

221
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,120
the country that will land
on the lunar south pole

222
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,840
will be Russia.

223
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Is there still any hope
that ISRO's scientists

224
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,560
will be able to find a way
to bring forward the landing?

225
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,960
(music intensifies)

226
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,695
(dramatic music)

227
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,640
(Shaheen) Stop, stop, stop!
Don't push.

228
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,840
What happened?

229
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,760
(Shaheen) Arjun doesn't need
to push the changes, sir.

230
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,080
Check the news.

231
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,440
(fiery roar)

232
00:11:43,474 --> 00:11:45,474
(spacecraft rumbles)

233
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,440
(news reporter 5)
Here's the top story.

234
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,360
Russia's Moon mission has failed.

235
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,640
Due to technical issues,

236
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,360
Luna has gone out of control.

237
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,520
And Russia's
lunar ambitions have been dashed.

238
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,800
Russia is now out
of the Moon race.

239
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,040
Now everyone's eyes

240
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,320
are on ISRO and India.

241
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,600
If everything goes well,
in four days,

242
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,080
India will land on the Moon
and make history.

243
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,000
But Luna's crash makes it clear
that landing won't be easy.

244
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:18,283
(in Kannada) Sir, they gave us
a run for our money!

245
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,480
Team!

246
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,040
Remember, it's not over
until it's actually over.

247
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,520
We haven't landed yet.

248
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,080
(dramatic music)

249
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,960
(keys clacking)

250
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,800
(Jairam) How did
these foreign hackers get so close

251
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,360
to controlling Vikram?

252
00:13:13,394 --> 00:13:15,394
(dramatic music)

253
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,160
Had the US
given us access to the GPS,

254
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,480
we wouldn't have lost
so many soldiers in Kargil.

255
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,600
We are lagging behind in technology.

256
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,840
(Vikram)
India needs the best of technology.

257
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,800
And for that,
you have to become

258
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,360
the best of scientists.

259
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:34,800
(Ratna) Do you understand now

260
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,480
why your father wanted you
to become a scientist?

261
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:39,480
(Young Arjun) Yes, Mom.

262
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:45,000
So that India has the best
technology in the world. (echoes)

263
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,680
(Arjun gasps)

264
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,478
Arjun?

265
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,758
- Sir...
- (Arjun gasps)

266
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,360
- Are you okay?
- Sir.

267
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,200
Are you okay?

268
00:14:09,234 --> 00:14:10,234
(melancholy music)

269
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,440
How did this happen?

270
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,480
It's been happening for a few days.

271
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,480
Panic attack?

272
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,640
I don't know.

273
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,880
Has this happened before?

274
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,160
It would happen a lot
when I was little, sir,

275
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,520
after my father's death.

276
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,640
But over the years,
it was under control.

277
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,960
I think it's because of
Vikram's landing.

278
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,280
What happened to your father?

279
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,558
Kargil.

280
00:14:50,592 --> 00:14:52,592
(patriotic music)

281
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,040
We lost many soldiers back then.

282
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,240
And we couldn't do anything.

283
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,040
Left at the mercy
of other countries.

284
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,880
The sacrifice of soldiers
like your father

285
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,240
was not in vain, Arjun.

286
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,440
We won the war.

287
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,960
And, Arjun, let me tell you
a fact about Kargil.

288
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,080
After Kargil,

289
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,360
the Space Generation Task Force
was formed.

290
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,240
That's when we decided,
no matter what,

291
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,480
whether it's
fighter jets for defence,

292
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:36,440
GPS, or a rover on the Moon,

293
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,600
we will do it.

294
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,160
Technologically, we will become
superior in the world.

295
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,720
If the Russian mission
hadn't crashed today,

296
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,480
would that dream
have come true, sir?

297
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,480
It would have come true.

298
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,640
You know,
we were being courageous

299
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,360
with the changes we were pushing.

300
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,920
Fear is a reaction, Arjun.

301
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,000
But courage?

302
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,040
Courage is a decision.

303
00:16:17,074 --> 00:16:19,074
(intense music)

304
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,480
Let your mind be without fear.

305
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,840
Only then will you win.

306
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,880
Believe in yourself, Arjun.

307
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Good night.

308
00:16:32,434 --> 00:16:34,434
(intense music continues)

309
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,440
(uplifting music)

310
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,474
(music swells)

311
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:15,120
(upbeat music)

312
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,600
(Saurabh)
Remember this date.

313
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,680
23rd August, 2023.

314
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,560
Because on this date,

315
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,480
we are going to delete
the historical failures

316
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,480
and write a new story
of a new India,

317
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,720
and that too,
on the lunar surface.

318
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,160
(female news anchor)
There is a thin line that separates

319
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,120
certainty and the uncertainty
of the mission,

320
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,840
which can make a mission
successful or unsuccessful.

321
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,960
Russia's Luna came and went,

322
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,240
but we didn't get tired or lose.

323
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,000
From every corner of the country,

324
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,560
people of every age are glued
to their screens.

325
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,240
All eyes are on India right now.

326
00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:01,440
(Jitendra) Our PM sir

327
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,840
and our scientific advisor
Mr. Mohanty-ji have joined us

328
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,000
from the International Summit

329
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,480
to witness this historic moment.

330
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:09,720
Dr. Ramaiah,

331
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,960
I'm sitting right in the middle
of two representatives

332
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,480
of the UN Security Council.

333
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,760
I've praised you so much
that I'm a little nervous now.

334
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,440
Don't worry, sir.

335
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,000
The fight we've been fighting
for the past 25 years

336
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,000
will be over today.

337
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,040
Dr. Ramaiah, you still
remember the mission, right?

338
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,400
A seat at the space table.

339
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,320
The Prime Minister has
his eyes on the mission,

340
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,200
and the whole world
is watching India.

341
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,560
Let's do it.

342
00:18:36,594 --> 00:18:37,552
Uh...

343
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:38,880
Is everything set?

344
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,880
- Check with Yamini-ji, please.
- Yes, sir.

345
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,240
(man 1 over radio)
Prepare for orbital injection.

346
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Burn in T minus 15 seconds.

347
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,480
- (man 1) Mark.
- (man 2) Orbit circularised.

348
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,240
Altitude 100 kilometres.

349
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,920
Descent initiation confirmed.

350
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,560
(man 1) Chandrayaan-3,
we are go for descent.

351
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,080
Initiate power descent.

352
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,680
(woman over radio)
Descent engine ignition...

353
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,560
Lander is ready to start descent.

354
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:00,760

Over to you, Arjun.

359
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,920
(man over radio)
All stations, this is flight.

360
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,720
We are go for rough braking.
Confirm readiness.

361
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,640
Lander initiating rough braking.

362
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Copy that.

363
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:24,960
Additional weight consideration.

364
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,240
Fuel requirements.
Component fuel time.

365
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:28,200

(Shaheen) Copy that.

372
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,600
(man over radio)
Nominal deceleration.

373
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,280
Horizontal velocity decreasing.

374
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,480
Altitude, 30 kilometres
and dropping.

375
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,880
Velocity below
1.5 kilometres per second.

376
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,040
Tracking looks clean.

(Arjun) Descent started.

378
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:53,800

Two kilometres per second.

380
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,720
Lander in control, ma'am.

(all clapping and cheering)

382
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,720
(news reporter 6) The Vikram lander
has successfully completed

383
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,360
the rough braking phase.

384
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,280
(all cheering)

385
00:20:07,360 --> 00:20:08,880
And now we have entered

386
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,040
the next phase of the landing.

387
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,120

390
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,560
We have 11 minutes.

391
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,080
(man over radio)
We are in attitude hold phase.

392

Roll nominal.

395
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,600
Thrust levels holding at 58%.

396
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,480
Chamber pressure's ready.

397
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,280
- (telephone ringing)
- (intense music)

398
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,720
Ma'am, Arjun has changed
the security protocol.

399
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,280
Arjun, drop everything
and come here.

400
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:56,760
Sir,

401
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,800
I want to report insubordination
by Arjun.

402
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,520
But there hasn't been
any fault, sir.

403
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,680
Correct so far.

404
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,080
But what if a big mess gets created
in the next few minutes?

405
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,440
What kind of a mess?

406
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,760
Like the one that happened
at the time of C2.

407
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,600
Because of Arjun's landing program.

408
00:21:14,634 --> 00:21:16,634
(tense music rises)

409
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,080
I did what I did
with the right intentions, ma'am.

410
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,360
If something goes wrong,
intentions don't matter, Arjun!

411
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,680
What happened?

412
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,600
What is it, Yamini?

413
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,840
(dramatic music)

414
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,560
(Yamini) In the last minute,

415
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,600
Arjun decided to add
a double-check feature

416
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:39,960
to the lander's firewall.

417
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,920
Without any peer testing

418
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,480
or my approval.

419
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,200
And this happened at the time

420
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,360
when I asked him specifically
not to do this.

421
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,640
What is this feature, Arjun?

422
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,360
Sir, it is to prevent the hackers
from taking control.

423
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,840
And is it preventing the hackers
from taking control?

424
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,680
I really can't say, sir.
I'm not sure.

425
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,800
I'm sure it will, sir.

426
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,440
That's incredibly courageous, Arjun.

427
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,480
Courage... Courageous?

428
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,280
You could also call
drunk driving courageous.

429
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,240
But they have got
another word for it.

430
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,320
Stupidity.

431
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,120
You're right, Yamini.

432
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,800
But I can't punish him...

433
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,720
yet.

434
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,800
But there will be action
if it goes wrong.

435
00:22:46,834 --> 00:22:48,834
(tense music)

436
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,200
(man over radio)
Confirm velocity.

Horizontal, three metres per second.

440
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,920
Reducing as expected.

441
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,160
