A space enthusiast from Chennai who worked independently, found a debris from the Vikram moonlander that scientists had been looking for and helped guide them to the spot where it had crashed.

Shanmuga Subramanian...looked for it on the images from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbital (LRO) Camera that the US space agency had released to the public.

LRO Project Scientist Noah Petro... said that Subramanian "is totally indpendent of the LRO, totally independent of the Chandraayan 2 team, just someone who is very interested in the Chandraayan 2 mission (who) used our data and identified a spot where there was a change that we had not identified".

Good it crashed. India should leave the moon to the US. We should stake a claim as I am sure that others, if they get there before we return, will do exactly that. Shame on us if we cede he Moon to cesspool tribal nations like India.

Hmm... wonder if it crashed because it had a computer virus that “Microsoft Support” failed to catch. Nah...can’t be. They always have superhuman abilities to detect viruses when they call me, even on Macs or non-existent computers.

It is not hate to put the USA above all others. It is treason and hate to promote others over the US. India is not our friend or ally. They are overwhelming our workforce, they are stealing our intellectual property, they will stab us in the back when it suits them. Are you with us or with them?

India will try again. A failure one time only means some things will be learned, and corrected. Look at the history of the US space program; it had a long list of failures, but that did not cause us to give up.

I totally agree with you. NASA funded many of my projects. You don’t see my f’n picture up here, lol. More propaganda is what this is. The latest fake colleges with fake degrees should inform everyone what’s really going on.

I learned a new term today that perfectly describes the liberal mentality. Pathological altruism. The boys at Breitbart describe exactly what you’re talking about. https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2019/12/02/fact-check-buttigieg-says-illegal-aliens-subsidizing-everybody-else/

Well, heck, that was easy. It has “Impact Site” written all over it in big letters and those little blue and green dots are the pieces. How could they miss it?

More grist for the mill. We have traitors like in this article who have destroyed thousands of American lives. Now congress is intent on making it easier for him? The working man is on the road to being serfs and little more than slaves in this country, that includes our children. https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/12/03/fncs-carlson-rips-vicious-billionaire-paul-singer-for-vulture-capitalism-tactics/
