India became the first country to land on the South Pole of the Moon on August 23 at around 6:04 p.m. when the Vikram lander achieved a soft landing attempt on the surface of the Moon. After two previous failed attempts, Chandrayaan-3 became the pride and joy of the country and history was made.

ITP/X
It wasn’t just the people of India anticipating the success of the lunar lander and staying glued to their screens at home as they watched the live broadcast from the ISRO command center. The families of the scientists and engineers also joined hands in prayer to send good vibes to their boys and girls.
One such reaction was captured on film when the father of project manager P Veeramuthuvel, P Palanivel, was sitting in front of his television at home in Tamil Nadu. In the clip, the Indian father appears anxious before landing and lights up seconds after the successful landing.
Palanivel cries when she realizes that her son had made history with his contribution to the mission to the moon. Like every Indian father, Palanivel had few words to congratulate his son’s achievement, but his tears and his face said it all.
