KABUL (Pajhwok): Having landed a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole, India has become the first country to reach the milestone.
After a failed attempt to land on the moon in 2019, India joined the United States, the Soviet Union and China as the fourth country to achieve the landmark on Wednesday, CBS reported.
A lander with a rover inside touched down on the lunar surface at 6:04pm local time, sparking celebrations around India, including in the southern city of Bengaluru, where space scientists watching the landing erupted in cheers.
The successful mission showcases India's rising standing . . .
