NASA confirms $118 million Odysseus lunar aircraft has TIPPED OVER onto its side after failed landing on the moon

NASA went DEI so don't ever expect any more successes.

Straight White males like the ones that put a man on the moon using slide rules don't fit the target demographics of NASA so we are pretty much fucked when it comes to competency.

NASA didn't build the lander, duh....

How many died before we had a spaceship that would land on the moon?

If our Apollo landers had tipped over, they would still be there

Luckily we have delivery vehicles.

Or at least still on the movie set.

The lander was trying to pull off the crazy maneuver the Japanese lander did, landing upside down.

 

[Crepitus]

Sort of like our President.

No, apparently it's propped up on a rock, like this:

Is that the best recreation of what happened that NASA can come up with?

Jeez people, this is not like flying your drone around the neighborhood. This is a remote spacecraft landing on the moon.

Yup. The moon is moving at 2300 mph and rotating.

Yup. The moon is moving at 2300 mph and rotating.

And you typed that while moving 25,000 mph.

And you typed that while moving 25,000 mph.

Yep! But since my phone is also moving at that speed, it felt like 0 mph.

They should create a repair droid, send it up and right it

In graphic sophistication, it beats NOAA's revised hurricane forecasting.

If they are going to launch another moon mission, it won't be "in hopes" of repairing a past mission. They would do better just to launch a new mission.

Maybe that is what actually happened

Some Moon Giant came and tipped it over as a prank

think they gave themselves a black eye to point it may affect investment

Nah, failures happen. What will happen here is that they will learn from the failures and be even better at successfully sending moon landers.

The first cell phones were terrible. So they improved. People didn't give up on them.

Yeah they do ...this one happened because of stupidity....different than a system failure or unexpected event

Hahaha, oh yeah?

What stupidity?
