THE RACE TO THE MOON
For over six decades, humans have been launching spacecraft toward the Moon, yet successfully landing on its surface remains a challenging feat. As of the filming of this episode, four missions have endeavoured lunar landings this year, with only one achieving its goal. However, this solitary accomplishment holds great significance, marking the conclusion of a brief space race. Two international missions were in contention to be the first to touch down at the Moon's uncharted south pole. While some may frame it as Russia versus India, in reality, it was humanity's collective endeavour against the formidable lunar landscape.
