Washington / London, Ta. September 7, 2019, Saturday

Although no country has reached the southern pole of the moon, India's historic mission to land a landmark record has not been fulfilled, but it has presented to the world the ambition of ISRO, engineering expertise and India's ambition to become a space superpower.

Despite the failure of Lander Vikram's soft landing, the foreign media has praised ISRO for its Chandrayaan-2 mission in India. The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC, Guardian and other leading foreign newspapers have prominently published news of India's historic mission, Chandrayan-2.

American Magazine Wired writes that Chandrayaan-2 was India's most ambitious space mission. The breakdown of Vikram Lander is a big blow to India's space program, but not everything has been lost for the mission.

The New York Times praised India's entrepreneurship in engineering and its success in space for decades. He writes that India may not have landed on its first attempt, but its effort shows the extent to which it has expertise in the field of engineering and how much it has developed in the field of space science over the decades with global ambitions.

British newspaper The Guardian has written an article under the heading 'India's Moon Landing Strikes, Last Minutes Lost'. The article quotes Matthew Weiss, representative of France's space agency CNES in India, as saying, "India is heading in a direction where in the future the human population on the Moon will take 20 years, 50 years or 100 years."

The Washington Post said in an article titled 'India's first attempt to land on the moon probably failed' that the mission is a source of "immense national pride". Despite the setback, the support of ISRO and its scientists has flooded social media.

The incident may be a blow to India's growing space ambitions, but it has been seen as a reflection of the aspirations of its young population. ' The BBC compared the budget of the Hollywood Movie Avenger to the mission. The American network told CNN that the crowds celebrated every small step of the landing process.
