Actually, the Indian Moon Mission is more than just a moon landing. It'll be the first time that any vehicle lands on the south polar region of the Moon. Find out more here on the scientific objectives for the mission - https://www.isro.gov.in/chandrayaan2-mission

I've been reading up on it more since commenting. I'm really impressed by the ambitiousness of the project.

I am excited to hear that they plan on sending people soon.

Chinese have already landed on far side of the moon with their Chang'e 4 [0] mission.
