The Russian Luna-25 had cost $200 million.

“This is a victory cry of a new India,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi, waving the Indian flag as he watched the landing from South Africa Beaming scientists and officials burst into applause and hugged each other in joy at ISRO’s mission operations complex at Bengaluru after Vikram lander finally came to a rest on the rugged lunar terrain after 18 minutes that pushed millions in India on the edge of their seats
