Did you see the Vikram Lander? Brad Pitt asks about lunar module to American astronaut on the ISS

On 7th September, Chandrayaan-2’s landing module had gone silent after Vikram Lander went silent when it was merely 2 KMs from the landing surface of the moon. All efforts to resume the communication has so far been unsuccessful.

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, on a call with American astronaut Nick Hague on the International Space Station asked whether he saw ISRO’s Vikram Lander land on the lunar surface.


Pitt was in a conversation with NASA astronaut on the ISS as a part of promotion for his upcoming film Ad Astra which is slated to be released on 20th September. Pitt plays the role of an astronaut on a dangerous mission.

Hague, however, said that he did not see the Vikram Lander land on the lunar surface. “No, unfortunately,” he said. Hague, along with two other American, two Russian and one Italian astronauts is living on the International Space Station.

India’s tilt towards acquiring Russian Su-57E over American F-35, is not a matter of mere procurement choice, rather, it is shaped by decades of trust in Moscow’s defence partnership and key offer of technology transfer against the US delivery delays and disregard for strategic defence autonomy of the importer nation.
