India Wednesday created space history by becoming the first country in the world to enter Mars’ orbit in its maiden attempt. Expressing their joy, Bollywood stars say that it is a “historic” moment for all Indians.
India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) sped over 650 million km through deep space for over nine months to reach the Red Planet’s orbit.
Here is what B-town tweeted:
