India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully landed near the lunar south pole, marking a major milestone in the country's space endeavours. Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian astronaut, said this signals a remarkable new era of space exploration for India. However, the 75-year-old wistfully added "I think I was born a little early" to fully participate in this new era. Chandrayaan-3's lunar touchdown placed India in an exclusive club of nations as the first to navigate the south pole. Sharma congratulated ISRO for overcoming Chandrayaan-2's challenges and making the historic mission a success, saying he was proud to be Indian.
