ISRO cancels Chandrayaan 2 launch, Twitter erupts in support, astrologers attempt to school rocket scientists

The Chandrayaan 2 launch has been **cancelled due to a technical snag** . New dates will be announced in a few days. The Twitter reactions that followed the announcement, however, helped us get over the disappointment. From astrologers attempting to school rocket scientists on the relevance of star charts to wholesome support from around the world, here’s what Twitter had to say about the event. Some next-level extreme science:

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow lunar eclipse will happen, so rocket can't see the moon on these days.
It is good that you stopped the process. Otherwise rocket will land in some other milky solar system.#Chandrayaan2 #LunarEclipsehttps://t.co/0dTwLeJ75J

Surprisingly supportive Indians:

Thats the main reason for the success of @isro because they count, calculate and observe every minute of their mission. So that mission can complete in one attempt. Many congratulations for detecting the defect during #Chandrayaan2 which say many things in itself.
