NASA's comments on Chandrayaan 2 

A day after Chandrayaan-2 failed to make contact with the lander, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) came out in support of ISRO. NASA called the exploration into space 'hard'. Furthermore, it states that India has inspired NASA with its ambitious mission. As a consequence, NASA looks forward to space exploration in a joint effort. 

Jerry Linenger, a former NASA astronaut, commented that what India was trying to achieve was extremely difficult. The lessons learnt in the process, however, will help the country with its future projects. Linenger asked the people to not be too discouraged. "India was trying to do something very, very difficult. In fact, everything was going as planned as the lander came down." Linenger asserted.
