India achieving what Russia couldn’t. Great job India!
Russia landed on the moon 18 successful times though?
No. The Soviet Union did. With Ukrainian engineers.

I’ve been sitting next to Ukrainians in the lecture hall before most of y’all even shat your pampers.

Go back to lemmygrad, your kind isn’t welcome here, tankie. Slava Ukraini. Proud member of the SSBN force, ready to set 1SQ for strategic nuclear launch when directed. KILL THE BEAR!

The last time being nearly 50 years ago. And this time they didn’t even manage to get into orbit, landing is supposed to be the hard part.
The landing part is the hard part, but it isn’t like Russia is any less inept than any other nation with a space program. Until SpaceX and now NASA got their new launch systems up and running, it was Russia that was getting our people to and from the ISS. The US had a pretty long span of time having to rely on basically the same launch systems that were directly competing against them during the race to the Moon. Shit is just really hard no matter how long any nation/company has been doing it. We still get plenty of pretty epic explosions from SpaceX and will see many more (especially with the BFR project). And before them we lost Challenger without it making it to space, and Colombia while coming back to earth. They did at least get to the Moon and did leave a mark of sorts. I wish there were cameras with high resolution recording all the landings and crashes from all nations that could upload after the fact for us to see. I would love to see how big the dust plumes get from all of them (especially the crashes), and see how long it takes for shit to settle again.
NASA still haven’t really got their SLS or any other launch system up and running, just SpaceX with Crew Dragon. SLS is in the pipeline but not yet certified for people - the first crewed launch is currently scheduled for Nov 2024, however that date may well slide. That leaves just SpaceX as an alternative to Russia, at least for crewed missions.
More recently the reliability of Russian rockets has been called into question. SpaceX launch far more than Russia now and with SpaceX it’s pretty much become routine. Excluding Starship, SpaceX haven’t had a launch failure since 2016. Meanwhile, Russia have their own distractions going on here on Earth.
Space is hard, but achieving orbits is on the easier end of it and should be fairly routine. Russia have experience landing on the moon in the past, however by their own admission that experience wasn’t available in the recent mission. Obviously we don’t know exactly what went wrong with Russia’s attempt, but it is a little concerning they failed at such a small hurdle.
I mean sure, there are failures all the time. But it just seems weird bringing up Russia’s (or anyone’s) successful space program when India lands on the moon.
It’s not that weird, Russia’s was the most recent attempt before this one. India landed today, Russia crashed last weekend, Japan crashed back in April, India crashed 2019. Those are all the most relevant ones to talk about in relation to this one due to timing and landing site.
All the starving Indian children are going to be so happy foreigners have a slightly higher opinion of Modi now!

What’s 20 years of starving children compared to being the 4th country to land on the moon after no one else tried for decades?
Then why don’t you help feed them instead of posting in a platform through a device that very likely is using tech that came from space research operations?
Congrats to India!
Wow ! Killing it
So what has that slacker been doing since then? Has it quantified the amount of water (as ice) located in the fissures at the south pole?
Get busy little robot - we have no time for dallying.
Their CGI needs some work
Lol who gives a shit about CGI. It was basically for all regulars so that they can understand how the landing is happening in real time.
It’s less impressive when you remember they’re letting the majority of Indian children live with severe malnourishment to do this…
It’s like NK bragging about their rockets.
When you don’t take care of the necessities, it’s easy to do other shit.
Like a person wearing flashy clothes, driving new cars, and living in a giant house. Then finding out their over leveraged and bankrupt.
Edit:
Downvoting won’t feed the children Modi is sacrificing
The prevalence of Zero-Food in India marginally declined from 20.0% (95% CI: 19.3%–20.7%) in 1993 to 17.8% (95% CI: 17.5%–18.1%) in 2021. There were considerable differences in the trajectories of change in the prevalence of Zero-Food across states. Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, and Jammu and Kashmir experienced high increase in the prevalence of Zero-Food over this time period, while Nagaland, Odisha, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh witnessed a significant decline. In 2021, Uttar Pradesh (27.4%), Chhattisgarh (24.6%), Jharkhand (21%), Rajasthan (19.8%) and Assam (19.4%) were states with the highest prevalence of Zero-Food. As of 2021, the estimated number of Zero-Food children in India was 5,998,138, with the states of Uttar Pradesh (28.4%), Bihar (14.2%), Maharashtra (7.1%), Rajasthan (6.5%), and Madhya Pradesh (6%) accounting for nearly two-thirds of the total Zero-Food children in India. Zero-Food in 2021 was concerningly high among children aged 6–11 months (30.6%) and substantial even among children aged 18–23 months (8.5%). Overall, socioeconomically advantaged groups had lower prevalence of Zero-Food than disadvantaged groups.

You’re being downvoted because you’ve zero clues here and you just run your agenda of hatred. You just want to diminish a country’s achievement by bringing in different stats. This is typical of country-hating citizens.
As for how and what this achieves is ISRO is immensely profitable in bringing in foreign money to India. They do it by having cheapest and reliable spa e programs. They’re uncontested in this area now and all space agencies including private ones like SpaceX pays ISRO for their satellite launches.
In case you don’t understand in your blind hatred, this pays for India’s space program and bring in a lot nore money as well.
As for the other countries trying, Russia just tried and failed, NASA has both manned and unmanned launches to moon planned. So saying other countries are not doing this is false.
Comparing NK rocket launch to this clearly how out of reality you’re.
And finally, regarding your straw man argument of malnutrition, first of all it’s exactly that - straw man argument or whataboutism which has nothing to do with this achievement.
Secondly, while malnutrition is a big issue and must be addressed, ending space program will do jackshit.
Even further, Chandrayaan 3 is not Modi’s achievement anyway, so why bring Modi hate in India’s success story?
he’s being downvoted also because he’s literally spamming every single thread about the landing on every community and instance with same-text posts, only the usernames varies depending on instance.
That too, but none of his argument is valid in the context. It’s plain hatred.
“Majority” of Indian children?
Last released day was pre-covid and was in the high 40 percents…
Do you think the last couple years with COVID and Modi re-priotizing space missions has helped them?
Or do you think they got that last 3-5% to put them over 50%?
India has a lot of problems, but investing in ISRO isn’t one of them. Satellites help in weather forecasting, cyclone monitoring, navigation and planning. ISRO also makes money by launching foreign satellites.
