‘Rocketry: The Nambi Effect’ actor R Madhavan took to his Twitter to share pictures with scientist Nambi Narayan. Showing his support towards the ISRO scientists, Madhavan wrote that 'it is still history in the making'. For those unaware, Chandrayaan 2's Vikram Lander was scheduled to make a soft landing between 1.30 am and 2.30 am. However, the ISRO Chief announced that the communication with the lander was lost at an altitude of 2.1 km and data is being analyzed.
R Madhavan highlighted that his feeling suggests that it was because of the 'fine braking thrusters' that might have been frozen shut and later went on to share his theory on why the mission was still very successful. He concluded with the popular '3 Idiots' hook line: "All is Well". Read his tweets below -
What ever it is .. it’s still History in the making. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😘

More than 90% of the experiment is on the ORBITER which, gods grace , is safely in the Lunar orbit. That is still fully functional and therefore The mission still very successful. #ISRO https://t.co/MoVrRUv2fL

That is why I am skeptical. The thrusters on MOM were ignited and the over heated before being frozen shut..the fine breakers today were being fired for the first time post launch.. https://t.co/E786unjExp
