…….But in the words of a cynical internet meme: Pics, or it didn't happen. And, as Apollo moon-landing deniers have taught us, even pictures sometimes aren't enough to convince folks inclined to believe conspiracy theories.
So the Indian Space Research Organization — NASA's counterpart — obliged skeptics, sharing a photo of its Chandrayaan-3 lander on the ground, with one leg visibly sticking out. Not since Angelina Jolie presented at the Oscars in 2012 has a leg had such an illustrious moment. "And here at last is ISRO issuing an official post-landing image from the Chandrayaan-3 lander, which is the final confirmation we needed of a successful landing. Congrats to all those involved in the mission," said Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The space agency has since followed up with a two-minute video of the spacecraft descending onto the moon's surface. The video was taken by the Lander Imager Camera, which assisted in finding a safe spot to land — without boulders or deep trenches — during the landing. Another brief video shows the six-wheeled golden rover, Pragyan, rolling out of the spacecraft.

I'm not sure if there is an Indian (call center, not casino) on the Board for Wawa. They do not have franchises either as they are all corporate owned.
The various missions positioned mirrors on the moon so that scientists could use them for light experiments. Far as I know anyone who knows the coordinates can use them.
That’s true. You can see them beingpinged by lasers during an eclipse
After the landing, I was excited to see a bunch of new pics of the moon. I looked on my internet machine for several days and never found any photos. I gave up and decided to become a conspiracy theorist. I mean if they landed on the moon, wouldn’t the first thing they would do is flood (sorry) the world with new images? Something’s not right. Not passing the smell test.
Did they also show their H1-B visa and/or student visa form?
Cat-Man-Do, Did!
“ Unlike the Utah desert, the Thar desert has no craters or low gravity.”
Good point.The Utah desert is unique in that way. Maybe the film production company that does lunar and interplanetary landings can lease their set to India ? Or better, just make a contract video.
LOL!
Bollywood doesn’t have Kubrick. …but they do have programmers!
“why don’t the flat-earthers just go to the edge of the earth and post a photo on Twitter?”
The NASA guards won’t let them.
;-)
India’s film software engineers are better than China’s because of Bollywood. That’s why China’s 2021 film landing of Mars looks more fake.
Indians have the shittiest cameras on earth and elsewhere. Jeeze.
It wouldn't matter. They would have "brilliant" explanations on how it was faked.
Mainly that big old invisible dome that covers us, I guess.
LOL! Good one!
I’m skeptical. 🙄
Just for the record post #2 was a joke.
