It is quiet unusual for a premier organization like ISRO to speak like an immature kid when faced with a failure. Rather than admit it on the face and ask for an apology from taxpayers, the chairperson went on saying the following which reflects very poorly on his professional ethics and work attitude.
- Even though Chadrayaan – I died a premature death, we achieved 95% of the goals.
- US and Europe were also satisfied with the results.
To Honorable chairperson of ISRO : If you have achieved 95% of the goals within few months of launch, why did you plan for 2 year research programe with Chadrayaan – I? Why waste taxpayers money? Why do you need a certificate from US and Europe to pat on your back?
In all this failure, where did you speak to the tax payers on Chandrayaan’s mission?
You have not taken us into confidence in your mission and are now seeking refuge by making stupid statements. Come out clean and boldly accept that its was an error on your teams part and go on with Chandrayaan – II. Moon mission is not new and there is no rocket science in it. US, RUSSIA have accomplished them years ago and you can collaborate with them to reduce failure rate. The recent failure which is related to estimating moon’s temperature is trivial and this doesn’t bode well or instill confidence in us about your future endeavors.

I don’t think so.
It is impossible to achieve 95% goals within some month. Because if Chandrayaan lives 5 years in Moon then they achieve 80% goals.
Past experience said that.
I agree with the views expressed by
