Summary from the TLDR newsletter

India is the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the Moon. The Chandrayaan 3 is the country's second attempt at a lunar landing. Its first attempt in 2019 failed when higher-than-expected thrust from its braking rockets drove the lander off course. Chandrayaan 3 cost the Indian government roughly $90 million.
