India lands a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole, a first for the world   
   as it joins elite club   
      
   "India on Wednesday made history as it became the first country in the world   
   to land its spacecraft near the moon’s south pole, an uncharted territory   
   that scientists believe could hold vital reserves of frozen water, and the   
   fourth country to achieve    
   a moon landing.   
      
   A lander with a rover inside touched down on the lunar surface at 6:04 local   
   time, sparking cheers and applause among the space scientists watching in the   
   southern Indian city of Bengaluru. After a failed attempt in 2019, India now   
   joins the United    
   States, the Soviet Union and China in reaching this milestone."
