India’s ambitious lunar mission - Chandrayaan 2 – is scheduled to attempt a soft landing on moon near its south pole at 1:43 am on Saturday. With lots of expectations, Indians are eagerly waiting for the powered decent.

A successful landing would mean a historical moment for the nation. It’s because, if Chandrayaan 2 successfully touches moon’s surface, then India will become the fourth nation to achieve it after Russia, the US and China.

People, from different corners of the country, are dropping all sorts of posts on Twitter. In fact, the hashtags #Chandrayaan2 and #IndiaMakesHistory are also trending on Twitter.

Celebrities like Akshay Kumar and A.R.Rahman too tweeted about Chandrayaan 2:

Here are some of the tweets doing the rounds of the micro-blogging site. Have a look:

Ahead of the landing, Isro too took to Twitter to drop a message. “We have the same wishes for Vikram, Orbiter. Want to stay in touch with Vikram and Pragyan as they make their way to the untouched lunar South Pole and uncover its many mysteries? Then keep an eye out for the next edition of #CY2Chronicles!” the space agency tweeted along with an illustration.
