Pakistan praises India for the success of Chandrayaan-3
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on Friday (August 25) during a weekly news conference: "India going to the Moon is a huge achievement. We salute the Indian scientists for reaching this accomplishment.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) became the
first country to successfully land a rover on the South Poleof the Moon, giving
Pakistan the opportunity to congratulate India for its historic Chandrayaan-3
Mission.
For India and the rest of the world, as well as for the South
Poleof the Moon, the successful landing represented a paradigm change in the
field of space exploration. Just a few days after a Russian probe crashed in
the same area, India, along with the rest of the world, applauded when
Chandrayaan-3, an unmanned spacecraft, touched down.
Leaders from across the world applauded Indian Prime
Minister Narendra Modi, who was able to witness it digitally while in South
Africa for the BRICS Summit. He was pictured grinning widely as he described
the mission's accomplishment as a victory that went beyond the boundaries of
his nation.
"On this happy occasion, I would like to address the
people of the world," Prime Minister Modi stated. The Moon mission that
India successfully completed is not only India's. This triumph belongs to
mankind as a whole.
It seems that India's rivals were less than pleased, too,
since it took Pakistan two days to send its best wishes to the Indian space
agency while China is still entirely silent.
S Somanath, The Director General of ISRO, stated on Thursday
that researching the Moon's South Pole might lead to the discovery of water and
a wealth of scientific information. Though its rocky terrain makes landing
difficult, the Moon's craggy South Pole is sought after because of its water
ice, which is thought to be capable of supplying fuel, oxygen, and drinking
water for upcoming expeditions.
