Congratulations fellow Indians 🇮🇳, we are successfully a part of Lunar Space History. 🌖🚀

Actually, watching this at work live. We’ve done it finally. Moments like these, you realise that we may suffer setbacks and failures but it’s our tenacity to get back up and fight our way to the top. Especially, after the failure of the last mission, it’s proud to say that our Scientists did the best to learn from the mistakes and made the best out of it. We are now part of an exclusive club, the #1 country to get to the Lunar South Pole and the #4 country to actually land on the moon(after US, Russia and China)
