What a tragedy. It's always a bummer when an expensive probe fails. It's not like they have a lot of experience. I really doubt it was "shot down." They just lost radio contact.

It's true the odds are probably against it but you're going to feel very foolish if it turns out the Lunatics actually did shoot it down.

The only Lunatics I hear from regularly are right here, safe and sound, where we can keep an eye on them. Cheesy

Maybe it just got bitten by a luna tick and came down with luna lime disease and died.

Quote from: BBC

But the Indian government's space efforts have not been welcomed by all.

Some critics regard the space programme as a waste of resources in a country where millions still lack basic services.

I wouldn't begrudge them a space program because millions lack services. To do that would deny the U.S. a space program for the same reason. I think both countries can find solutions that allow for space programs and services to citizens if we really want to.

Scott's right, the desire to explore is built into all humans. If they can make significant discoveries, yay!
