India’s boldly gone where no other country has — landing a spacecraft, the Chandrayaan-3, on the moon’s south pole, and becoming only the 4th nation to achieve lunar success.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Indian Space Research Organisation’s mission control erupted in cheers as the unmanned Chyandrayaan-3 softly touched down on the moon’s south pole Wednesday morning … marking a successful end to a more than month-long mission.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
India’s now earned its Moon Card, along with the U.S., Russia and China — although, only America’s landed manned missions there.<\/p>\n
One thing the ISRO has on just about every other lunar mission is cost, ’cause they really did it on the cheap. India’s budget for the entire mission is a paltry $75 million … an amount that pales in comparison to the budgets of several Hollywood movies about space exploration!!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Chandrayaan-3 landing on the moon’s south pole is a big deal because traces of ice were recently discovered there … so the ISRO is hoping to explore the area for water that could be used to fuel future spacecraft.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One person who probably isn’t cheering India’s lunar success is Vladimir Putin<\/strong> — Russia attempted to land<\/strong> its own spacecraft on the moon just a few days ago, but it spun out of control and crashed into the surface.<\/p>\n
