Japan’s moon landing picture might be the space photo of the decade::undefined

Then again, it might NOT be the space photo of the decade.
So you’re saying it’s a 50/50 chance, eh?
🫨
Let’s hope the best pictures come from Artemis later this decade.
The company [that helped build the rover] is perhaps most famous for originally creating the Transformers, the alien robots that can disguise themselves as machines
So, Transformers on moon confirmed.
Starscream still seems to be learning how to fly /s
I’m surprised they didn’t blame the crash on the Decepticons!
… actually it was caused by one of the engines falling off! (or the nossle anyway)
Possibly leading to one of the greatest reveals in aerospace engineering.
Do they still go eenk-onk-oonk-eenk in vacuum?
Kids these days not playing enough Lunar Lander
Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot.
The fact that this line is in the article just reminds me how
dumbtech illiterate most people are.This is very much the bell curve meme, but those in the know would be aware that the US military had been working on it for a while now.

Ah, I can see Toy Poodle from this angle!

So at this point, we’ve been there in person. We fully understand the atmosphere, the gravity, and the topology. We have laser range finding, lidar, stereoscopic vision. Trajectory and velocity are both more or less solved problems by this point, right?.. Right? There’s only 2.7 seconds of light delay. How have we screwed up so many landings?
… because it’s literally rocket science?
You can tell it’s real because
Heh I love the photo artifacts. It’s like holograms on a fake ID
