Explanation: Birds don’t fly this high. Airplanes don’t go this fast. The Statue of Liberty weighs less. No species other than human can even comprehend what is going on, nor could any human just a millennium ago. The launch of a rocket bound for space is an event that inspires awe and challenges description. Pictured here last week, the Indian Space Research Organization‘s LVM3 rocket blasted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota Island, India. From a standing start, the 600,000+ kilogram rocket ship lifted the massive Chandrayaan-3 off the Earth. The Chandrayaan-3 mission is scheduled to reach the Moon in late August and land a robotic rover near the lunar South Pole. Rockets bound for space are now launched from somewhere on Earth every few days.

说明: 鸟没飞这么高，飞机飞得没它快，自由女神像也没它重。除了人类之外，其他地球物种无法了解发生了什么事。事实上，近在1千年前的人类也无法理解它的用途。太空运载火箭的发射，通常会引发观众的惊叹，并挑战他们描述感受的能力。上面这张影像记录了上星期，印度太空研究机构的LVM3火箭，从印度斯利哈里柯塔岛达万太空中心发射升空的情景。从静止状态启程后，这部超过600,000公斤重的火箭，推送重量级的月船3号离开地球。月船3号预计在8月底扺达月球，并将一部无人驾驶的月面车布署到月球南极附近。现在几乎每隔几天，就会有一艘火箭自地球表面的某处发射前往太空。 （Chandrayaan-3 月船3号）
