Queer People Shouldn’t Have To Suffer To Be Taken Seriously
For the longest time, you were more likely to know a trans person because they had died than lived. The names of dead trans women, men, and enbys have hung in the air for my entire adult life. People like Venus Xtravaganza, Brandon Teena, and Islan Nettles have been a part of my community’s history: a reminder of what this society does to people that go against the grain.

The Chandrayaanmission was launched by India. Content Warning.
**The Chandrayaanmission was launched by India** On October 22, 2008, India launched the Chandrayaan-1 mission, which successfully reached the Moon and made a groundbreaking discovery - the presence of water. This revelation, particularly in the South Pole area of the Moon, garnered global attention and reignited the world's interest in lunar exploration. Since then, countries like the USA, China, Israel, Japan, Europe, and Russia have regularly sent missions to the Moon, each with their own objectives. Currently, all eyes are on India's Chandrayaan-3 mission, eagerly anticipating the new discoveries it will bring. Additionally, many are curious as to why the Chandrayaan-2 mission failed. In this article, we will delve into these topics, exploring India's return to the Moon and the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft. Moon missions can be categorized into several types, with the complexity increasing alongside technological advancements. The first and simplest type is the fly-by mission, where a spacecraft passes by the Moon without orbiting it. In 1959, the Soviet Union launched Luna-1, the first successful fly-by mission. Shortly after, the United States launched Pioneer-4, also achieving a successful fly-by mission. These missions aimed to study the Moon from a distance. Orbiter missions, on the other hand, involve spacecraft that orbit around the Moon, allowing for close-up studies of the lunar surface and atmosphere. Over 40 successful orbiter missions have been conducted to date, making it the most common type of Moon mission. The Soviet Union's Luna-10 mission in 1966 marked the first successful orbiter mission. Building upon orbiter missions, impact missions involve detaching a part of the spacecraft, which crash lands on the Moon while the main spacecraft continues its orbit. This crash landing, or "impact," allows for valuable instrument readings to be taken as the spacecraft approaches the Moon's surface. India's Chandrayaan-1 was an impact mission, with its separated component known as the Moon Impact Probe. In conclusion, India's Chandrayaan-1 mission made a significant discovery of water on the Moon, sparking renewed interest in lunar exploration worldwide. With missions from various countries, including India's upcoming Chandrayaan-3, the Moon continues to be an intriguing target for scientific exploration.
