The constant ISRO fanboyism is annoying. If you didn’t notice, 54 years ago, US put a man on the moon, something far more impressive and no other country has managed to repeat. Good that ISRO has managed to land a rover on the moon, but to put it into perspective, US and China have landed rovers on Mars. (And please don’t bring up cost, SpaceX has you beat on that too)

I don't think space fanboyism hurt anyone, if at all someone feels proud let them be as long as it's in good spirits. Comparison of SpaceX to ISRO or even other organisation seems a bit unfair, SpaceX have access to ecosystem of sensors, components that are restricted by US. Develop something as simple as reaction wheel takes decades. While I don't appreciate fanboyism in general, I also believe there is a world beyond writing a few lines of codes...

Heaven forbid that all conversations should not be about the USA.

Maybe. But why you complain in response to comment without any of it?
Also, why being excited about lunar mission is supposed to be a problem? People can be excited about things smaller than some large achievement.
And human landings were not so useful anyway.
