    Digital Desk: Ashok Chandna, Rajasthan's Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, made an odd statement regarding the moon mission shortly after Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on the Moon. He said that he "saluted all the passengers who went to the Moon."

    Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander carries a rover, Pragyan, and is not a human space mission.

    Chandrayaan-3, an Indian Moon mission, made a successful lunar landing on Wednesday at 6:03 p.m. With this, India made history by being the first nation to land in the southern polar area of the Moon.

    The ISRO, officially declared the successful landing in a post on X, saying, "'India, I reached my destination and you too!': Chandrayaan-3."

    After the United States, Russia, and China, India is now the fourth country in the world to successfully land a rover on the Moon, leaving its mark on the history of lunar exploration.

    The Chandrayaan-3 mission's objectives include investigating the Moon's geology, water availability, and possibilities for further human exploration.
