Prime Minister Narendra Modi embraces and consoles tearful rocket scientist as India's ISRO Chandrayaan-2 moon lander is feared to have CRASHED into the surface after mission control lost contact

印度ISRO月球探测器“月船2号”在与任务控制中心失联后，恐已坠入月球表面，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪拥抱并安慰流泪的火箭科学家

India's lunar lander appears to have failed in its attempt to reach the surface of the moon safely.

印度月球着陆器的着陆尝试似乎失败了。

After what at first seemed a promising start to its descent, data for the Chandrayaan-2 mission's lander, Vikram, began to show 'wiggles' during its braking phase that signalled it may not have been headed for a smooth landing.

“月船2号”着陆器“维克拉姆”号的数据显示，它在刹车阶段出现了“摆动”，这表明它可能不能顺利着陆。

And moments later, communication with the craft was lost, leaving its fate up in the air.

片刻之后，着陆器便与地面失去了联系，命运未卜。

There's now much uncertainty as to what actually happened as Vikram got closer to the surface, and whether it survived – though many suspect it crash-landed.

“维克拉姆”号接近月球表面时究竟发生了什么，它是否能幸存下来，现在还存在很多不确定性，尽管很多人怀疑它已迫降了。

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) says it plans to analyze the data to find out what went wrong.

印度空间研究组织(ISRO)表示，计划对数据进行分析，找出问题所在。

I hope they are proud of themselves, India should really think about it's priorities, almost a quarter of the country live in poverty, 10% of the country in extreme poverty. Is sending a rocket to the moon worth it???

他们应该感到自豪，轻重缓急，印度应分清楚，几乎四分之一的国民生活贫困，10%生活在极端贫困中。真有必要向月球发射火箭吗?值得这么做吗？

As one of the world's oldest and only continuing civilization, India pioneered in science whether it is Mathematics, astronomy, Ayurveda, etc. Einstein said, "We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count. Without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made"

作为世界上最古老的文明之一，印度在数学、天文学、阿育吠陀等科学领域都处于领先地位。爱因斯坦说:“我们感激印度人，是他们教会了我们如何计数。没有他们，就不会有任何有价值的科学发现。

Now that millions of dollars in landing on the moon have been wasted, how about landing some basic sanitation and toilets for people desperately in need on earth (poor regions of India) and using Indian taxpayers a tad bit wisely?

登月的数百万美元资金打水漂了，现在为印度人民提供一些基本的卫生设施，比如厕所，印度纳税人的钱要好好利用起来，怎么样?
