The New Race for the Moon
Several decades after the first moon landing, there has been a renewed interest in returning to the moon. In 2023, both Russia and India launched spacecrafts to reach the moon. While Russia's rocket crashed on landing, India's Chandrayaan 3 successfully landed, becoming the fourth country to accomplish this feat.
