Communication Lost With Indian Moon Satellite
stoolpigeon writes "All communication links with the only Indian satellite orbiting the Moon have been lost, India's space agency says. Radio contact with the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft was lost abruptly early on Saturday, said India's Bangalore-based Space Research Organization (ISRO)."
You sir, are completely out of touch with tech support scripts. I'm glad your attempt at humor failed so spectacularly.
A more detailed discussion - from the Indian viewpoint.

Indian viewpoint? You mean begging for money?
Also, I found it a little strange that the BBC article didn't mention this, but the Chandrayaan-1 had already been in successful operation for 312 days and had completed all of its primary mission goals.
What's strange about the Western media ignoring the enormous positive achievements of anyone with brown skin? We only do it if said person is an athlete (physical achievement is so primitive) or there is significant Western input into the achievement (so we can feel good about how we are helping the backward peoples of the Earth along... just so long as they never quite catch up to us.)
The 21st century will belong to India, and they are earning it with intelligence, democracy, education and a political culture that is insanely chaotic yet somehow kinda sorta mostly works well enough often enough that the country keeps moving in a direction not too far from forward.

I do not want to go into details, but Bender Unit 22 is once again trolling. His juvenile preschool attitude throughout his posts show that he obviously must be banned from the site. I therefore recommend that you mod down this post and all future posts belonging to him. Amen.
