"India's robotic spacecraft landed on the moon unscathed Wednesday, a historic achievement for the country's growing space program.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission, which means "moon craft" in Hindi, is the first ever to touch down at the lunar south pole. Many nations and private ventures have set their sights on the region because of its ice, thought to be buried in the polar craters. The natural resource is coveted because it could supply drinking water, air, and rocket fuel for future missions, ushering a new era in spaceflight."
