Now, one day too will come when children will say that the Moon is just a tour away)," he added.As the Chandrayaan-3 lander touched down successfully on the Moon’s south pole, leaders across the political spectrum hailed the feat, lauding the scientific research of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that went into the country’s third lunar mission.With this achievement, India became the fourth country to master the technology of soft-landing on the lunar surface after the US, China and the erstwhile Soviet Union.
