New clips show how the robot rolls out on the moon's south pole
India's space agency has released new footage showing how the rover robot Pragyaan rolls out of the lunar lander Vikram and takes its first "steps" on the moon. This is written by the Times of India, which published the clip.
Pragyaan, which means wisdom in Sanskrit, moves at a speed of one centimeter per second, writes the BBC. It is now roaming the moon's south pole to collect data and images to be analyzed on Earth. The rover also carries tools that will try to find out which minerals are on the moon's surface - but above all it is looking for water.

Space X and Nasa postpone launch
Space X and Nasa's joint launch to the International Space Station ISS was canceled late yesterday, several media reports. However, the reason is not completely clear, writes CNN.
According to a post from Space X on X, formerly Twitter, the launch will instead take place on Saturday as it gives the team "additional time to complete and discuss analyses."
"The craft are functional and the crew is ready to fly," writes the Elon Musk-owned space company further.
