As of this morning,
India has become the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the moon
and the first to land on its South pole
while the spacecraft landed safely at 8:34
a.m. eastern time after launching last month,
it's the first successful mission to one of the moon's poles.
Back in 2019,
India launched its first mission to the South pole but a software
issue caused it to crash into the lunar surface just days ago.
A Russian mission to the South Pole also crashed.
