India took a leap towards a new tomorrow as the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 made a successful soft landing near the moon's South Pole. In what is known to be a landmark achievement, ISRO Chief Dr S. Somanath and his team guided India towards a new age of space exploration with India's moon mission. Amid all the cheers and praises, an old video of ISRO chief S Somanath has resurfaced on the internet.
In the clip, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation was seen partying with his team, and he even took over the dance floor with his beloved colleagues. While the clip was shared by a Twitter user on Wednesday night, the evening when Chandrayaan-3 was scheduled to land on the Southern part of the moon, a section of users believed that it was possibly recorded during a Chandrayaan-3's post-landing party. The post's caption merely read, “Chief Dr S. Somanath & team ISRO” without adding any other details.
In no time, the video has been making waves on social media and netizens took to the comments section of the post flooding praises for ISRO and its successful lunar mission. A section of users opined that after the accomplishment of such a big mission, the scientists behind it deserved a party.
One of the comments read, “I was literally thinking, post-touchdown at the moon when the party will be thrown for Team Chandrayaan. Either on Wednesday or Thursday. Here is the answer. Thanks for the proud moment.” Another user wrote, “Proud moment India party to Banta hai.”
Well done team @isro 👏 It's a well deserved dance and hard earned party 🥳

Interestingly, India has emerged as the first nation to land near the South Pole, which has become the hottest new destination since traces of water were found on the moon.
Over the next 14 days, equivalent to one moon day, the Pragyan Rover will send images and data from the surface of the moon. Following this, its activity is likely to slow down, given that it is powered by solar cells.
