Space missions aren’t a cakewalk for any geek country. Be it the United States, China, Russia or India, failure in such grand missions must always be considered as part of the journeys.
One country trying to take a dig at another is nothing but intolerance and hatefulness. Imagine how big it is to send some tons of weight into space and study the things happening beyond our gravity. The amount of hard work, time and dedication scores of people put in such magnum opus projects. And if something fails or some glitch arises everything may fall apart in a few seconds, parallel to the criticism from the various corners.
This time, a similar thing happened after China’s latest bid to launch a rocket has failed. The country’s thoughts on sending a heavy 7.5-tonne experimental communications satellite into orbit have desperately failed.
Now, coming to the situation of the scholarly people who poured in lots of efforts in it, it is extremely sadful to Some netizens took on to their Twitter handles to troll the Chinese mission. Understanding the low moment, Space X CEO Elon Musk on Sunday has tweeted: “I know how painful that is to the people who designed & built it.” Being a scientist and such an avid researcher we are sure that Musk knows how painful it can be.
Sorry to hear about China launch failure today. I know how painful that is to the people who designed & built it. https://t.co/iOkj6egF3O

Not to forget the cold rivalry between India and China, netizens went taking jibes about ‘Made in China’ things many went quoting as ‘short life’ associated with China-produced goods that are available in the market. Well, something similar happened when an Indian guy mocked China tweeting: “Well what else can you expect from Made in China things.”
Well what else can you expect from Made in China things😂😂

But, Musk didn’t accept this, he went answering this user saying, “Actually, China manufacturing quality is excellent. Among other things, that’s where iPhones, many Android phones & most laptops are made.”

With this very beloved response, people on Twitter went praising Musk for his humbleness and modesty. Check out the Twitter reactions here:
Nice to see some compassion and understanding from someone public on my twitter feed today. Wish politics had a little more of that.

I’m impressed by your attitude to other humans. You’re the compulsorily example to be followed. Really.
