The Spin


Narrative A

Chandrayaan-3's soft landing on the moon's south pole is a historic moment for India and a huge boost for its space program. This is just the beginning, as the success gives India confidence to configure more missions to explore Mars and beyond.

Narrative B

This milestone doesn't just signal a success for India but also magnifies Russia's recent failure. Without a doubt, this mission marks the beginning of a new pecking order in space exploration, with Moscow slowly but surely losing its footing in the race.
