This is not a mean feat, as Russia failed in its attempt to land on the moon earlier this week.

India’s first attempt was not successful, but the second attempt got the world’s attention after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the historical feat immediately Vikram Lander touched down on the lunar surface.

The lunar south pole is generating scientific interest as there are reports that its craters are permanently in shadow and contain frozen water.
