New Delhi: India’s momentous achievement in space exploration reached new heights today as the Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully executed a soft landing on the lunar surface. Not only was this feat of scientific ingenuity lauded, but the accompanying live broadcast of the event on YouTube also etched its own record in history.

With an audience of over 3.6 million on YouTube, the Chandrayaan-3 Live Stream established a fresh global milestone for online streaming viewership. This historic broadcast was hosted on the official YouTube channel of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

The jubilation sparked by Chandrayaan-3’s accomplishment has united India with pride and excitement. Even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated in the BRICS Summit in South Africa, he was present in spirit for this monumental achievement. During the live landing event, PM Modi was greeted with the heartening news that India had indeed achieved a soft lunar landing. “Sir, we have achieved a soft landing on the Moon. India is on the Moon,” conveyed ISRO Chief S Somnath to PM Modi, who responded by proudly waving the Indian flag, a symbolic representation of the nation’s success through the Vikram Lander’s successful touchdown.

Project Director of Chandrayaan-3, P Veeramuthuvel, articulated the profound significance of this accomplishment by stating, “We have become the first country to go near the South Pole of the Moon,” as he described the event as a source of “immense satisfaction.”

In a moment of patriotic pride, PM Modi acknowledged this historic triumph and the message it conveys to the world. “We are witness to the new flight of new India. New history has been written. This is a moment to cherish forever. India is now on the moon. This is a year in which the world is witnessing India’s G20 presidency. Our approach of ‘One Earth, One Family, One Future’ is resonating across the globe,” stated PM Modi, emphasizing the profound significance of this moment in the global context.
