why is it so impressive that India landed on the South side of the Moon?
In: 7033
4 nations have successfully landed on the Moon. The Soviets were the first in 1959, then the US in 1968, then China in 2007, and now India in 2023.
If you look at the [list of missions to the Moon ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_missions_to_the_Moon#Missions_by_date), youll notice that even today, attempts often end in failure. Even attempts by the US still have a high chance of failure. NASA’s last attempt in 2022 ended in failure. Japan has tried several times to land on the Moon, and has been as yet unsuccessful.
Its a big deal because its hard to do. Like actually hard.
