India is the first country to explore & study the uncharted territory of Moon's south pole, India launched a rocket few days ago to moon that will land on its south pole. NASA is using all the vital inputs from India to make this mission successful👍

Feels like this could be the beginning of our space colonization adventures. Missions like these really excite me and I can't wait to see what the future holds
