Indian’s were glued to their TV sets as they were eagerly waiting for Chandrayaan-2 to have a safe and smooth landing on moon, last night. But instead of waking up to the good news, we got to know that scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) ground control lost contact with Lander of Chandrayaan-2, moments before its scheduled landing on the lunar surface. Soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi was informed about the lost contact, he told ISRO scientists that they should not be disheartened and India is proud of their achievements. PM Modi was at ISRO the entire night to watch the historic moment. Not only this, a video of PM Modi consoling the Chairman Of ISRO is heartwarming and is heavily trending on Internet.
In a statement, Isro said Vikram Lander was moving as per pans but just 2.1 km above Moon's surface, it lost contact with ground control centre. "The data is being analysed," said ISRO chief K Sivan. Bollywood celebs like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar among others have taken to social media to laud their effort and assure that every Indian is proud of ISRO’s attempt.
Akshay Kumar: There’s no science without experiment...sometimes we succeed, sometimes we learn. Salute to the brilliant minds of @isro, we are proud and confident #Chandrayaan2 will make way for #Chandrayaan3 soon. We will rise again.

Shah Rukh Khan: Sometimes we don’t land or arrive at the destination we want to. The important thing is we took off and had the Hope and Belief we can. Our current situation is never and not our final destination. That always comes in time and belief! Proud of #ISRO

Have been up since early this morning with bated breath to know about the proceedings of the #Chandrayaan2. To know that we tried and learnt is a lot better than not having tried at all. Was heartbreaking to see @isro chief K. Sivan sir in tears.#ProudOfISRO #ISRO pic.twitter.com/H2uErLVk8Y

India stands in the league of elite few nations of the world with the most successful space programs.We are so fortunate because most nations will NEVER experience this pride or anything near it.Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. #ProudOfISRO https://t.co/V8NYAOl3CI

So get this hashtag off pls and let’s aim for #IndiaWillSucceed #ISRO #JaiHind
If APJ Kalam sir would be here today.. he would have been REALLY proud of the @ISRO mission. Success or failure, it doesn’t matter. We fall, we get up & we try again, with more knowledge of what went wrong so we can rectify our errors the next time we attempt it 😇#Chandrayaan2
