FEELINGS

Chandrayaan-3 successfully soft-landed on the south pole of the moon on August 23rd, 2023. The last 15 minutes were very crucial, I predicted that it might not succeed. When Vikram Lander was near to the moon’s surface, my heart beat rapidly. The moment Vikram Lander had a soft landing, I was elated; I couldn’t express my feelings. I just blinked my eyes and the moment I opened my eyes, the chairman of ISRO began talking. His team’s faces were full of happiness. The Pragyan Rover sent four pics of the moon from where it had landed.

That landing site is now known as Shiva Shakti.
