India became the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the Moon as Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed at the south pole of the lunar surface on Wednesday.

  • Chandrayaan-3 landed on the south pole of the moon
  • After 40 days ISRO finally managed to land Vikram Lander 
  • Social media has been full of praise for ISRO's lunar mission

Chandrayaan-2 had failed to fulfil its target four years back

There were anxiousness as Chandrayaan-2 failed to achieve its target four years ago but this time the Indian scientists made sure it remained on its path and landed safely on the moon. Social media exploded with congratulatory messages and some users even compared it with Chelsea's transfer window.

Despite spending millions on several players the Blues have failed to live up to expectations and are yet to muster a win in this season. Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw with Liverpool in their opening encounter and tasted a bitter 3-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham United in the last Premier League game.
