''Fingers Crossed'': Excitement At Its Peak On Twitter Ahead Of Chandrayaan-3 Landing

Indians across the country are waiting with bated breaths to witness a historic event on Wednesday when Moon mission Chandrayaan-3 lands on the lunar surface at 6:04 pm. The nail-biting last twenty minutes of its journey are being described as ''twenty minutes of terror'' that could be like the tight finish of a T-20 match. If accomplished, it will elevate India to the ranks of the world's fourth country to achieve this milestone, following the United States, Russia, and China.

While devotees across the country are performing special prayers for the mission's success, people on social media are coming together to wish ISRO good luck and bombarding the platform with good wishes. Some people who can't contain their enthusiasm are even sharing reimagined pictures of Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface. All in all, the excitement is at its peak, and people are fervently hoping for the triumph of the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission. 

One user wrote, ''May the journey be smooth, discoveries be mind-blowing, and success be astronomical!" Wishing our scientists at ISRO all the very best for the success of the landing of Chandrayaan-3.'' Another commented, ''Four years of hardwork, Forty days of action and decades worth of dreams, comes down to Fifteen minutes of terror today. All the best ISRO and Team Chandrayaan-3.''

India's Chandrayaan-3 mission was launched on July 14 by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota. 

ISRO has expressed confidence that the landing will take place without a hitch, as the scientists have incorporated all the valuable lessons they learned from Chandrayaan-2. The live telecast of the event will begin at 5.20 pm on the ISRO website, YouTube channel, and DD National.  At 6.04 pm, the Vikram lander, carrying the rover Pragyaan, will attempt a soft landing on the moon's South Pole.
