From hfalcke@mastodon.social on Mastodon: Congratulations to our Indian colleagues who achieved their first soft landing on the moon. Only very few countries have achieved that and particularly not in recent times, where we saw lots of crash landings. They are first on the South Pole. I remember how we were proposing a European lunar lander South Pole Mission 15 years ago and seeing soft landing experiments at EADS. Europe didn’t pull it through. India did. # Moon # Chandrayaan3 # Astrodon
