If we analyze the projected trajectory to the actual, we see that the horizontal component of velocity was reduced more than projected. That means the lander will land in a different place with different elevation(probably?). If the the elevation is higher then the lander can strike hard and the shock could trigger a safety shutdown. Let's wait.

This is after the fact that the whole project was delayed to add in more redundancies. I hope we have at least soft landed and the comm. blackout is due to some trivial reason.

Certain people will troll us. Now but the reason is now one on this whole earth had thought that this nation will come this far that we will challenge them. Ups and downs come in life.
Those who will troll or make fun of us will only boost our flame.

Plausible.

Because at the end of "Hard Braking" it was over speeding at a lower altitudes... A very small deviation from the central green optimum path. As a feedback loop the thrusters over compensated with a bit more thrust , hence reducing the horizontal component a bit more than needed. The "Fine Braking" phase then tookover. That was the reason we missed the landing spot by a km or so...

But I don't think it hit a moon mountain or something, probably it has landed but on a side of a crater wall... I just don't want it to roll over post soft touchdown.

Deviation was within acceptable limit. orbiter will make it clear what happened, chances of crash are now 99%.

The lander was supposed to map the terrain and Chose it's landing site. So all talk of trajectory deviations is mute. It could have been the autonomous decision of lander .

Not good for optics, when it was exhauled that this a was
I'm not broken up about failure. It happens. It's rocket science.

What I'm afraid of is ISRO probably having to justify its budget again to the snakes at home.
Rocket science is easy (we know all the theories relating to rocket science have extremely good predictive capabilities and are well understood), rocket engineering on the other hand, is difficult.

I mean the usual "does our country need expensive space programmes when we have so many problems" tripe.

This failure (if) would be showcased as money sunk by opposition, especially since the budget was raised on account of this mission.
Anybody who makes that argument should be fucked sideways with a wooden stick , still attached to the forest it came from....

As a third gen technocrat this literally grinds my gear.

Nope opposition won't question space program. This poor india trope is by socialist writers in news and foreign press duo output.
