Chandrayaan-3: Here’s How Internet Reacted On India’s Successful Moon Landing

India created history after Chandrayaan-3 lander Vikram touched down on the Moon’s south pole on August 23. After this successful landing, India became the fourth country in the world to achieve this feat after the United States, Russia, and China. The proud part is India became the first country in the world to land on the lunar south pole.

After a 40-day journey starting from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, the Chandrayaan-3 mission has landed successfully. More than 1000 scientists of ISRO worked on this mission. Learning from the failure of the previous mission, ISRO took care of all the precautions this time. Reacting to it, the Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO shared the update on X (formerly Twitter), “’ India, I reached and you too!’: Chandrayaan-3’”.
