CONGRATULATIONS TO INDIA!!!!!

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

=========
Two visitors from India — a lander named Vikram and a rover named Pragyan — landed in the southern polar region of the moon on Wednesday. The two robots, from a mission named Chandrayaan-3, make India the first country to ever reach this part of the lunar surface in one piece — and only the fourth country ever to land on the moon.
==========

Impressive achievement.

Message from Russia;

"Nice attempt, pigdog, but your lander only cover tiny puny part of moon. Glorious Motherlander spread out over 2/3 of Moon in great explosion. Space law says we own 2/3 of Moon. Spasiba!"

Congratulations to India. Not that I am a big fan of their current leader. But, well done, India, well done!

Great video, and I send my congratulations to India.

That LIBS spectra instrument is the shits! I love it. A 4th possibility for unexpected sulphur could be left artifact from the asteroid collision that broke off moon in the first place.
Has everybody heard about the bird?
