Humanity successfully landed another object safety on a celestial object hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Earth. Of course that's impressive.

Plus, they succeeded where Russia failed, which is at least mildly amusing.

Being fair, they did land some things on the Moon before while part of the USSR. Though it is nice to see a new nation get a first for something relating to the Moon.

Yes, this says more about India than about Russia.
