Chandrayaan-3 Mission Insights

The video discusses the challenges of landing spacecraft on the Moon, highlighting a mini space race between Russia and India to reach the lunar south pole. While Russia's Luna 25 mission failed, India's Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed, marking a significant achievement for ISRO. The video also reflects on the difficulties of space travel and the importance of having the right mission, plan, and rocket.

What is one of the main challenges in landing on the Moon?
