On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon. As he ventured out, Armstrong broadly said,
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
It is just a coincidence, the human species for the first time landed on Moon in the month of July, and today you are perusing this story in July as it were. Most recently, only a week ago, on July 14, India’s second attempt to make a soft lunar landing, Chandrayaan-3, was successfully launched into orbit for scripting a new chapter in India’s space odyssey.
Kashmiries being the “super tech savvy” in the whole universe, and always carving for information about global developments, as such, having almost one “super sensitive journalist” in every street, holding a mic and camera are now looking to make history by landing on Moon.
The landing on Moon although is a massively expensive process, nonetheless, not more than the wealth spend on lavish Wazwan, medicines- a cause of consuming 60,000,000 kilograms of mutton annually.
The lunar mission for Kashmiris would obviously be a different experience compared to a comedy circus of self-styled scribes, highly well-learned Molvies, leaders without followers, match fixing between doctors and diagnostic centers, plagiarized work of Authors, self-declared celebrities, conservative parents of liberal children, white-collar back door entrants, pious religious casteists, and others.
Experts suggest that the first steps of a Kashmiri on the moon will conquer the obliviousness of Kashmiris about Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Coding, changing of world order, and about the world outside the United Nations.
Well, coming to the subject the person from Kashmir, who will step in on Moon will be the person who will contemplate the above-expressed issues relating to the Kashmir society, let us hope Kashmir makes it to Moon very soon.
