India's Chandrayaan-3 moon lander fails to answer wake-up call, may be dead for good

I don't want to insult Indians, but I just somehow knew it would breakdown. They didn't include a radioisotope heater. YUTU-1 launched 10 years ago had a heater and was able to survive the temperature drop. YUTU-1 later had a mechanical failure having got stuck in something, but the electronics survived for almost 3 years after that. It continued to transmit signals for almost 3 years, the lander lasted even longer, still functioning till now, almost 9 years. It has the only telescope on the moon.
CY3 was never planned to last more than a lunar day
 
One small shit for Indian men, one giant shit leap for Indian kind.
