There won't be a moon to land on.
It’s a risk being the first time sending a lander to the moon.... What? Oh, wait...
Engineer: I know we were aiming for a controlled landing, but, hear me out, an uncontrolled landing is still a landing...
To think we successfully designed craft to land on the moon using slide rules and computers with the power equivalent to a calculator.
Darn Electric moon landers, ... well, at least they are environmentally friendly.
Newsflash: Moon to look like doughnut!
Winding around to:
It’s coming home, but precisely where, is unknown to the public.
Those human remains will never make it to the moon.
An electric spacecraft? God how I long for the heady days of mercury and Gemini space programs.
Too much diversity.
They should have have hired more women of color to do the calculations. S/
Damn shame, I was rooting for them

“What we have learned from our commercial partners is if we have a high enough cadence, we can relax some of the requirements that make it so costly, and have a higher risk appetite.”
translation from buzzword jargon into vernacular English: technical requirements and testing known to work cost really big bucks, so we’ll try flying a bunch of junk and hope something makes it ... maybe that will be less expensive than doing it right in the first place ... [plus, we can spread the dough around to more places and get more kickbacks and campaign “donations” that way] ...
“And if they fail, the next one is going to learn and succeed.”
IOW, as usual with all rocket “science”, we’ll blow shit up until something finally flies ...
Is it too late for them to call Elon Musk to fix the problem?
What is often unrecognized is that launches put their vehicles and payloads through severe vibration and high g-forces that can easily damage spacecraft. A propellant line fitting seems to have weakened or failed.
Somebody tell me again about manned missions to Mars......
Sounds like the same guy who made the gameboy Titanic sub.
Can’t have them going there and finding out that the moon landings never happened. /s (sort of)
One big Grift! To the the tune of 19 billion a day.
