India moon landing: A first in lunar exploration

Chandrayaan-3 successfully touched down near the lunar south pole, landing India in an exclusive club with just three other nations who have achieved the feat - the US, China and the former USSR.

It's thought the south pole's shadowed craters contain water ice that could support a future base on the moon, allowing astronauts and scientists to work there for extended periods.

The first country to land on the treacherous South pole of the moon, the first country to discover water on the moon and now going to be the first country to test frozen water and minerals on the lunar surface. It's just awesome India!

Congratulations to India on this remarkable achievement. This May be first as a nation but Also keep in mind there is a big bulk of Indian scientists and engineers that were involved in many projects in the USA, France and Russia it's no secret the contribution of Indian professionals for these countries made them reach the stars as well.
Good job India well deserved!😊

Whoever wrote the closing line about the moon reflecting political differences on earth deserves a raise

Highly appreciable of sky news for unbiased and honouring the space-rational technicalities by pointing out that - This is 1st in the south pole not just 4th on the moon (conventional north pole landings, where precision landings don't matter much)

Remember…. Nothing shames a Brit more than the success of India.

They get reminded about “aid” whenever they see India’s successful space program. It’s very revealing how much shame they feel when they see India’s succees (against their own failures and gradual progression into irrelevance).

So they need this kind of rhetoric about “aid” to diminish Indian’s pride and happiness.

It doesn’t matter that Indian gov has stopped taking aid. UK sends money to their NGOs and calls it “aid”.

India's South Pole landing on the moon is unprecedented 🇮🇳🌕🇮🇳 as the landing point has been christined as 'Shivshakti', a truly lndian name. Both Vikram & Pragyan are doing great jobs. India's Adithya-L, Gaganyan, humanoid Vyomithra launches are on track. This shows lndia's prowess as a space power on par with the USA & Russia. This is a proud moment for lndians, Asia & mankind.

we are just happy our scientists are not too far behind others, moment of pride for Indians.

People are forgetting that it was India which first discovered water on the moon.
