In a historic achievement, India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission gracefully touched down on the lunar South Pole, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s ambitious space exploration efforts. While celebrations erupted across India, the neighboring country of Pakistan also joined the conversation, albeit with a lighthearted twist.
Witty Comment Goes Viral
A 16-second video, which rapidly spread on social media, captures a Pakistani youth expressing his unique perspective on the achievement. The video showcases the young man stating, “Wo to paise laga ke jaa rahe hain na, hum to already chaand pe reh rahe hain aapko nahi pata tha,” which translates to “They are investing money to go to the Moon, but we are already living on the Moon, didn’t you know?” The witty comment instantly caught the attention of viewers.
Hilarious reaction from Pakistan.

When asked to clarify his statement, the youth humorously draws parallels between the challenges faced by Pakistan and the conditions on the Moon. “There is no electricity, cooking gas, and water in Pakistan, just like the Moon,” he quips. The video, initially shared by Pakistani YouTuber Shoaib Chaudhry, quickly gained traction and sparked a series of reactions from both Pakistani and international social media users.

India’s successful landing on the Moon’s South Pole with Chandrayaan-3 not only solidifies its position as a spacefaring nation but also marks a historic feat. As the fourth country to accomplish a lunar landing – following Russia, China, and the US – India’s achievement holds global significance.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) wasted no time in establishing communication with the Vikram lander and sharing awe-inspiring images of the Moon’s surface post-landing. ISRO Chief S Somanath attributed the success of Chandrayaan-3 to the dedication of India’s space scientists and the newfound confidence it instills for undertaking more complex missions in the future.
A Step on the Lunar Surface
In a remarkable development, Chandrayaan-3’s Pragyan rover successfully disembarked from the Vikram Lander and embarked on its journey across the lunar landscape. The gradual rollout of the rover began once the lunar dust had settled, marking another stride in India’s pursuit of unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos.
While the scientific achievements of Chandrayaan-3 stand as a testament to India’s prowess in space exploration, the playful banter between neighboring nations showcases the enduring spirit of camaraderie and shared aspirations, even in the realm of space. As the stars continue to beckon humanity, such achievements serve as a reminder of the boundless potential of human ingenuity and collaboration.
