I applaud India for trying. Challenging your nation is usually a good thing. But it seems Chandrayaan 2 may be a failure.

But why, some say, the Moon?
Why choose this as our goal?
And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain?
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic?
Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the Moon! We choose to go to the Moon...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

That's nothing. North Korea flew to the sun, landed on it and returned the same day.

Congrats on the unmanned moon mission 50 years after we sent people to walk on it... I guess.

Good thing it didn’t actually go into space so they won’t have to worry about actually losing their equipment.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
