Inside the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) headquarters in Bengaluru, as the Vikram lander initiated its controlled descent towards the lunar surface, officials erupted in applause. The culmination of years of relentless dedication marked a monumental leap in India's space odyssey.
This success places India in an elite league, with a distinction that sets it apart. The United States, China, and Russia may have achieved lunar landings, but India's triumph is unprecedented. India's name is now imprinted in the record books as the first nation to land on the southern hemisphere of Earth's moon.
This incredible journey began with the launch of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. With its ambitious mission that embarked on July 14, the Chandrayaan-3 has culminated in a historic achievement that has sparked nationwide pride.
The unity of cricketing legends, current stars, and cricket enthusiasts in celebrating this achievement underscores the significance of such milestones. As India looks to the future with renewed fervor, both in space exploration and on the cricketing field, this historic achievement will remain etched in the nation's collective memory as a testament to dedication, perseverance, and national pride.
