Has anyone talked to Hank Johnson for his thoughts on this matter?

Can it get one of those “I’ve fallen and can’t get up” alert devices?

It’s just resting for a bit. It was a long drive.

I guess we can stop making fun of the Japanese now about their lander.

It most likely ‘bounced’ when it touched down, what with 1/6 gravity and all.................

The company knew they had a problem last night. Very limited communication. No high speed communication. Many people speculated that it may have tipped over. The media completely ignore that there was a problem. see my previous comment(different thread) for a link to the space.com version of this article.

coming to rest sideways, propped up on a rock Haven't we read this book?
Genesis 28
11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
There's always a song!

Landing is much easier (and safer) in a studio! You can even drive around in ready-to-drive dune buggies and make phone calls to the president! And NO RADIATION!

Their press conference was unintentional comedy gold. Listening to the obvious, and endless, marketing-driven happy talk spin, while the model of the lander was sitting there sideways, was hilarious. If Saturday Night Live was still funny, I could easily envision the skit they would do about it.

No, it actually landed on Guam, which we all know is supposed to be tipped over.

I realize that gravity on the moon is much less than here, but couldn’t they have put the heavy parts at the bottom, in a half-sphere bowl, and not used any legs? That way, like the inflatable clown that bounces right back up after a punch is thrown, it could have naturally righted itself.

humm. fortunate for them that the robot lander survived tipping over. i thought something went wrong when listening to the live feed. they were acting kind of flumoxed for about 15 minutes after projected touchdown.
