Russia attempted something similar with Luna-25. When they failed, their top rocket scientist suddenly died. The ISRO deserved more recognition for their success, IMO.


Agreed, it's an impressive accomplishment, especially on the very limited budget they had to work with.


Russia sent the first man to space as an underdog. A country with a population of 1.5 billion only now sent something to the moon.

You cannot compare these.


Coincidentally, Russia also sent the first dog into space, as an Untermensch, if you will.
