India makes history by successfully landing spacecraft near Moon's south pole

India became the first country to land a spacecraft near the Moon’s south pole after Russia’s attempt at a lunar touchdown in the same area ended in failure following an engine malfunction.

Chandrayaan-3 — India’s spacecraft that launched last month — achieved a soft landing at 6:04 p.m. local time on Wednesday, after Russia’s Luna-25 crashed into the moon on Sunday.

Well done to India what an amazing achievement I hope by 2050 Africa sends something as well but that is wishful thinking with all our issues.
