"Chandrayaan-1 is dead, long live Chandrayaan"

The ISRO has formally announced 'loss' of India's maiden and ambitious Lunar Mission Chandrayaan-1. However, all is not gloomy about this. Considering many firsts it achieved by its launch itself and the probe which landed India's flag on moon, we should be proud of what it achieved. Add to it the fact that it was completed without any overrun of cost or time which is achievement in itself considering India's past record. May be we were over-ambitious with this project but then this is something which I am saying with benefit of hindsight. Only when final scientific report is out can we be sure of the causes. The ISRO team has done great job in this mission and expectations are high for the next mission in Chandrayaan-2. Lets hope that it turns out to be complete success. Amen.
