| 0:00.0 | At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's roads. |
| 0:07.4 | That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour, |
| 0:12.3 | because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or |
| 0:16.8 | serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone. |
| 0:24.8 | Such TFL improvement plan to the Mayor of London and TFL every journey matters. |
| 0:35.1 | This is CBS Eye in the World. I'm John Bash for Happy Anniversary behind the Black 13 years of |
| 0:41.3 | watching commercial space surge ahead of big space, but at the same time discoveries are all. |
| 0:48.8 | We're exploring the solar system here in the early 21st century. |
| 0:52.6 | Chandrayaan 3 on its way to the moon. What is Chandrayaan 3 bar? |
| 0:57.8 | This is India's second attempt to put a rover on the moon. The first attempt, Chandrayaan 2, |
| 1:05.7 | got very close to the surface, but then its engines ran out of fuel above the ground in a crash. |
| 1:11.7 | So they decided to just rebuild the thing, basically, and go through it and make sure they can |
| 1:16.7 | get the kinks out and try again. So they launched this about two weeks ago. It's been in |
| 1:22.4 | earth over the last two weeks, slowly raising that orbit to the point where it would then be |
| 1:28.0 | efficient to fire the engines and inject it into a trance, a lunar trajectory. And so they did that |
| 1:36.1 | early this week, and it is now on its way to the moon. It'll take about five days to get there, |
| 1:41.4 | which means it'll arrive around August 5th. It'll then put itself in lunar orbit and then spend |
| 1:46.7 | about two weeks lowering that orbit slowly until it's in the right position for an attempt to |
| 1:51.5 | descend softly to the surface on August 23rd. If that goes right, the Vikram land that's the |
| 1:57.5 | lander will gently place the Pragyan rover in the high southern latitudes of the moon where the |
| 2:03.6 | rover will then function for about two weeks, or basically the daylight portion of one lunar day. |
| 2:09.6 | This is more an engineering mission for India than it is a science mission, though, of course, |
