Here is the lede plus one:
India just became part of an exclusive club. With the successful touchdown of its Vikram lander today, it is now just the 4th nation to soft-land a spacecraft on the moon.This is a tremendous enginnering feat and it marks India's move into the upper tier of nations.The entire mission was called Chandrayaan-3 which means “moon craft” in Sanskrit. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrate the achievement from South Africa where he is participating in the BRICS meeting.
