Voracious Reader<p>Other companies said I was daft to land a lander on the moon, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the regolith. So, I built a second one. That feĺl over onto its side. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the regolith, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest Intuitive Machine in Mons Mouton.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IntuitiveMachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntuitiveMachines</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Athena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Athena</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lunarlander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunarlander</span></a></p>
Ross of Ottawa<p>So the moon lander is toast, tipped over in a crater.</p><p>The part that gets me is this quote:</p><p>"The bigger, four-wheeled rover never made it off the fallen lander, but data beamed back indicates it survived and could have driven away had everything gone well"</p><p>The thing should've had an explosive emergency deploy, and a tow hitch and four-way flashers and they could've had it drag the failed lander back to a good location and orientation. Beep, beep, beep, "backing up here."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/intuitiveMachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intuitiveMachines</span></a></p>

Ross of Ottawa<p>Just hearing a bit of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/intuitiveMachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intuitiveMachines</span></a> press conference. </p><p>They're still not sure if they are upright or not. One bit of data - from the "Inertial measurement unit" suggests they are on their side. Some rocket engine data suggested they were upright. </p><p>Good data comms apparently, so they'll be able to do some things.</p>
