What’s the first thing we do before we’re off to picnic? We make a list of picnic essentials, so that we don’t forget anything and would have to drive back home, and just enjoy our trip. Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) had the same idea. And as they prepare for the launch of the second moon mission – Chandrayaan 2, ISRO took it to Twitter, asking followers to suggest what they would take to the moon if given the chance.
Your #MoonEssentials lists keep coming in and how! Here are a few more interesting answers from Dhurai Rajiv Gandhi (Madurai), Rahul Kundu, and @IDeserveSomePie –– we love how all of you have scientific inclinations. Anything more you'd add? #Chandrayaan2 #GSLVmkIII #ISRO pic.twitter.com/GZXjBHes9I
