Chandrayaan-3 is on the verge of accomplishing an extraordinary soft landing at the Lunar South Pole, marking a significant milestone in lunar exploration. Launched from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, on July 14, this mission carries the potential to uncover the enigmas of the Moon's South Pole landscape, an area that has remained enshrouded in mystery. As the world's attention turns towards India, it's a fitting moment to contemplate the country's initial venture into space, symbolized by Rakesh Sharma, an Indian Air Force (IAF) pilot who embarked on a space voyage in 1984.
