Mission or a Spectacle
It is unseemly to see a lack of well-trained professional communication apparatus to handle such events. ISRO could have handled the media in a more nuanced manner than being amateurish about it. Let us hope research organisations do not fall prey and be smitten by the degree of media coverage, but be only concerned with delivering feats that open up the next frontiers of science which Chandrayaan undoubtedly was destined to do, but alas it has to be done all over again.

The landing that wasn’t
It is overlooked that Chandrayaan-2 has become a global allegory on the human predicament. Its core pattern is the 'loss of contact' between ISRO and Vikram, the lander. This is not only a scientific setback but also an existential disaster. It is the root of all our woes. This pattern explains the gulf between our immense potential as a species, as people-groups and as individuals, and our achievements. We are eminently capable of landing on the Moon; that is to say, achieve difficult and challenging goals.
