Chandrayaan 2: From Anupam Kher To Sunny Deol Celebs React To India’s Space Mission
On July 22, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched Chandrayaan 2 from Andhra Pradhesh. After days of anticipation, and tense moments, a heart-breaking announcement came up from the ISRO. Seconds before, Chandrayaan 2 was supposed to touch down on the Moon's surface early on Saturday, communication with the Chandrayaan 2 lander was lost.
India had hoped to create history by becoming the first nation to reach closest to the lunar south pole but as the landing time of 1:55 am came and went, there were no signs that the mission had succeeded.
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi consoled ISRO chief K Sivan post the meeting, when he broke down after the technical glitch.

Like PM @narendramodi rightly said,
“#ISRO has its encyclopedia of success. When it comes to our space programme, the best is yet to come.”
It was and always will be a remarkable achievement! India is proud of the #Chandrayaan2 team @isro! pic.twitter.com/hChrPSlGGD
When one truly considers how young we really are as a free nation...that fact that we have space missions at all....and at this level...is a mindboggling achievement. #isro A nation stands behind you beaming with pride.
