Space is hard. But the ingenuity of India’s scientists and engineer...

We should not be devastated. Disappointed? Sure. This was our first time, and we just could not achieve soft landing. We reached the Moon, the orbiter is healthy, and in a polar orbit.

Modi...giving pep talk.

Modi patting Dr. Sivan.

SwamyG

Everything good until 2.1 km. Then communication lost.

SwamyG

Media just giving unnecessary hopes?

SwamyG

Modi would not have walked out...if there was a glimmer of good news. No?

SwamyG

India Today saying there is still hope. WTF.

SwamyG

The lady is asking for confirmation.

SwamyG

The deviation from the red line, almost felt like a free fall, no?

DD says please stand by. Hmmm...

Some problem? People do not look happy. Moving around.

All faces tense.

There is some deviation in that trajectory graph.....

SwamyG

CAM Costing phase....more claps.....saree clad women jumping up and down on the chairs. Must be naarmal.

SwamyG

Braking phase.....

All clapping....things must be naarmal onlee.

SwamyG

All Indian channels having DD feed onlee. Is Nat Geo any different?

SwamyG

Chart looks naarmal.

SwamyG

So it starts...

SwamyG

Almost everyone in my circle, based on Nat Geo, YouTube and other channel descriptions.....all are waiting for a live video. I had to disappoint them...however I asked to wake/stay up and watch. Even my sister was going to watch live. I think media has wiped up the frenzy today......good thing.

OT: I heard the rumor that both Vikram and Pragyan can hear Arnab. So that communication channel is definitely open.

SwamyG

The concept of "Live" seems debatable. All channels and news outlet are using the words - live, watch etc. BRF gurus feel it won't be instantaneous, and only telemetry data will be live. On top of it there will be 15mns of no communication. We at BRF are speculating there might be deferred...

From Nair's interview it appears there will be real-time pictures during the descent and landing. But would it be broadcast to the world soon? If you look at the youtube video posted by juvva, there are at least 3 cameras in action. Maybe a couple more. They are being used by the lander for its ope...

(There is an old joke about Indian parents who, when their child gets 99% in a test, ask the child "what happened to 1 point?" :) - In this case Chandrayaan is getting 100%!!!) . (Short answer: No, it is not weight issue, ISRO did not think it needed/wanted it. We will use it when our ant...

1. So are the considerations to heat; a political/administrative task of taking isotopes up in the air (somebody mentioned ISRO did not make a request), or is it scientific/engineering one (essentially a weight issue)? 2. 35 x 101KM is nearly a circular orbit, curious why it is not "perfect&qu...

My post is specific to your assertion about identifying elite individuals. You had shared a few examples. My point is we need to create an ecosystem at different levels, and talent automatically will eventually bubble up. Please quote examples from the Indian shooting team to show why your argument...

SwamyG

You have a point there..But compared to US, automobile industry in India forms a much bigger share of total manufacturing (40 to 45% of total industrial manufacturing). So the impact of a slump on economy is also more. Right now there are multiple factors which has caused this sudden slowdown in au...
