Holy cow .. that is some simply amazing tech. I hope they pull it off, and why isn’t this landing being shown on live tv at a better time? Couldn’t they have chosen a different launch window to arrive when more people could view it? 130 am EST isn’t exactly going to garner a ton of viewership.
Since when does NASA do space exploration? I thought their job was to coddle the Muslims these days.
Launch windows are chosen for technical reasons, not to satisfy the entertainment addicted American public.
That said, NASA is an extreme Affirmative Action example, no longer the “best and brightest”. JPL succeeds, because the entire center is contracted out and there are very few “civil” servants located there. The rest of the agency is treading water with little mission except making Muslims feel good about their bloody history.
