Humans are returning to the moon. India is racing to catch up by 2040
India has successfully landed on the moon's south pole with its Chandrayaan-3 mission, becoming one of only four countries to achieve this feat. The US, China, and other nations are also racing to return humans to the moon, with China targeting 2030 for a crewed landing and India aiming to catch up by 2040.
NASA's Artemis program has faced a setback with the failure of its Peregrine One spacecraft. India's Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully landed on the moon's south pole in August 2023. The south pole is a challenging region to land in, with steep slopes and numerous boulders. Other nations, including the US, China, and Russia, are also working towards returning humans to the moon. China is targeting 2030 for a crewed landing, while India aims to catch up by 2040.
