a senior fellow and head of the nuclear and space policy initiative at the observer research foundation which is an indian policy think tank thanks so much for joining us so tell us what is unique about india s moon mission and what is it doing with its moon mission that perhaps other countries are not doing with their own space programs. no i think the most exciting bit is the fact that they tend to well be soft landing on the south pole of the moon and i think that something that has no other country has that and so far but this is also to be lived in the larger context of the general space competition that speaking up even within this domain so you had china outperforming the soft landing on the far side of the mornin january this year they landed or in the near side of the moon couple of years ago so this is a larger competition that is picking up ever since the u.s.
