Well, they made it!!!! Chandrayaan-3 Mission Soft-landing was SUCCESSFUL!!!

First EVER elements are discovered on the Moon's South Pole: India's Chandrayaan-3 rover confirms the presence of sulphur in the lunar surface

Chandrayaan-3 has detected sulphur in the moon's soil, which an expert said could reveal more about the origins of our lunar neighbour. 

It marks the first time sulphur has been found on the moon's south 'in situ' – so in the place it exists, rather than detected from a distance by an orbiter, the country's space agency said. 

Chandrayaan-3 has also found aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxygen, while the search for hydrogen is now underway. 

There are a couple new photos in the link, one of the lander and one of a crater.

Chandrayaan-3 and its pet rover seem to have succumbed to the extreme cold of the lunar night after they went into sleep mode when the Sun set on the Lunar South Pole at the beginning of this month , September 22 saw dawn arrive for the pair but efforts to contact the lander and its little buddy received no response , subsequent attempts have been made to contact the duo without success.

Unfortunately, the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover didn't respond to mission control's message.

Additional attempts to wake them up on Monday were unsuccessful, and scientists told the BBC that the chances of the historic lander reawakening are "dimming with each passing hour."

It was always unlikely that the two robots would withstand the moon's elements.

The technology on both the lander and rover weren't designed to withstand nighttime temperatures on the moon, The New York Times reported, which can reach as low as -334 degrees Fahrenheit, according to NASA.

Of course they could have discovered an Alien base and gone dark ... we'll never know.

-334 degrees Fahrenheit

I don't want to go to the moon any more.

Loitering on the moon. Toxic waste wherever humanity steps foot, but at least it was a cheap publicity stunt all in all, right?

And now I feel stupid for cheering them on.
Thing is probably totally loaded with micro-organisms too, because we're humans and we don't give a #
