New Delhi New Delhi: Amid the Diwali festivities, a man from Odisha has gone viral on the social media platform for using Amazon's Alexa device to launch a Diwali rocket. In a video shared on his Instagram page, Mani's Projects Lab, last week, the man demonstrated the unique launch. In the clip, a simple voice command—”Alexa, launch the rocket”—prompts Alexa to respond, “Yes, boss. Launching the rocket,” as the firecracker takes off. The video, which has now been viewed more than 23 million times, is titled: “Launching a rocket with Alexa.”

As his video went viral, Mani shared a tutorial demonstrating the experiment on his YouTube channel. “With voice control enabled via Alexa, you can remotely trigger a relay to simulate a rocket launch,” Mani explained in his post.
