A leaked offer to an Iranian tanker captain exposed an open secret: The US will pay you millions of dollars to betray its enemies

Business Insider September 9, 2019

The executive asked not to be identified because of ongoing client operations and fears of being identified.

"How f---ing stupid are they? They should have sent a covert team on to disable the tanker or found enough dirt on the captain to f--- him over," said the source.

(CNN) India has located the lander from its Chandrayaan-2 mission to soft land a rover on the moon but has not yet been able to establish communication, India's space agency said.

The historic mission appeared to end in failure on Saturday after scientists lost contact with the Vikram lander moments before touching down on the lunar surface.

Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) spokesperson Vivek Singh said that cameras from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter had taken a thermal image of the lander and efforts were underway to establish a signal.

The level of damage to the lander is unclear.

Its descent went as planned until it reached an altitude of around 2 kilometers above the moon's surface. "Subsequently the communication from the lander to ground station was lost. The data is being analyzed," said K. Sivan, chairman of ISRO. A soft landing seeks to minimize damage to the lander and its contents by controlling the speed of its descent.

ISRO said the mission was "highly complex" and "represented a significant technological leap" compared with other missions.

The next phase would have been for the robotic rover, named Pragyan (meaning "wisdom")

JOHANSEN: Do they move when you do?

(Greer - who, with his colleagues, has been slowly creeping forward towards the swarm - raises his clenched fist and everyone stops. He watches the swarm for a moment, then sends a short burst of flame towards them from the flame thrower. The swarm retreats down the corridor. Greer activates his radio.)

GREER: They do now.
