Having to reset the spacecraft seconds before landing is not good.

It’s still historic. A privately funded landing, just not a good one.................

Someone on FARK.com made the comment: “Looks like they were taking rocketry lessons from the Palestinians”.

Yes, it was a low, crass comment, but I couldn’t help but laugh. :P

Well that sucks! I was hoping the little craft that could would make it for the little country that could.

They should have made the last part automated so that no communications were necessary from Earth. The craft could have landed all by itself with the right data.................

No doubt. A hell of a mission...glitches mid way...doing it on the cheap using gravity and inertia. But so close...and flop!

Hehe...Just like Hillary.

It’s made of cheese anyways. We probably should have tipped them off before they went through all that trouble. Sorry fellas, better luck next time and bring more crackers!

Given the logistics, they did a great job.

Well, if it weren’t for Trump, they would have landed successfully!

Damn. I was hoping they’d make it. Please, Israel: try again.

Well, you know, the Palestinians already said that Israel stole their land on the moon and the UN has adopted a resolution condemning Israel for littering the moon.

Paleostinians apply their best rocket science, and all they can manage is to throw explosives somewhere into Israel.

Israelis apply their best rocket science, and come within a hair’s breadth of landing a robot on the Moon.

I like the Israeli approach to rocket science.
