Chandrayaan-2

Pakistani minister for science has been mocking India for attempting to land on moon.

Liberals use video of moments before confirmation that Vikram lander has failed to claim that Modi was cold to the news

There is no communication yet with the Vikram Lander and ISRO is trying to establish contact with it.

The bold effort by Indian scientists to soft-land on moon suffered a glitch on early hours of Saturday after Chandrayaan-2's Vikram module lost the communication with ground stations, just 2.1 km from the lunar surface during its final descent.

NDTV journalist Pallava Bagla heckled an anxious senior scientist at ISRO who had come out to address the media to explain about the failure in communication of the Vikram Lander.

Chandrayaan 2: Failure reminds us of the supremacy of the scientific method

NASA's fact sheet states that more than 40 per cent of missions to the Moon have failed so far in the last 60 years.

Some people are so consumed with their hatred for PM Modi that for them, the hopes and efforts of a nation and the hard work of scientists involved do not hold any value at all.

After widespread condemnation for the NDTV journalist's uncouth behaviour, Pallava Bagla has now taken to Twitter to apologise for his conduct to ISRO scientist.

"When ISRO has an entire encyclopedia of success, a couple of setbacks cannot take us out of trajectory", said PM Modi to scientists at ISRO.
