India almost made it!

India's space agency made it to the moon. They separated the lander in orbit and had a successful de-orbit burn.

Unfortunately as it was approaching the surface the craft lost orientation, tumbled and crashed.

Prime Minister Modi was in mission control to support the team regardless of the outcome.

I hate when this happens!

Rip Chandrayaan. Third times a charm.
