I got this mental image of Elon Musk stomping around pissed off that his “peers” cant do this right. Prolly saying something like “people are comparing these clowns to me”!! Would be cool if he just threw something together..some lunar mission...maybe land a Tesla on the surface...I’d love to see that!

They showed a graphic of a perfect landing on fake news and didn’t even mention it fell over. I think it was SeeBS

And the Japanese lander just did the same thing.

The lander “is stable, near or at the intended landing site,” said Intuitive CEO Steve Altemus. One hiccup though—the lander is on its side.

Not a landing.
An arrival.

This is like Joe’s “successful” management of the country that we keep hearing about.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

I’m no expert on orbital mechanics, but escape velocity from Earth is
25,000 mph. The lander was orbiting a smaller body- the Moon. How could the lander be traveling at 25,000 mph in orbit around the Moon and still be orbiting ?

Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 72 with the computing power of a Commodore 64. Maybe the lander needs a pilot.

I am a reasonably experienced mechanical Engineer - and I can't help but wonder which part of that program Management team designed that tall, thin lander with that narrow and thin landing gear lashup. Has no one ever looked at the Moon's surface and not noticed it's irregularity? Have none of their engineer's learned about Centers of Gravity?
I mean, it got there and it hit its aimpoint, more or less and it didn't smash into the surface - but the simplest part of the mission - to land right side up - failed?
Did DEI strike again?

People don’t understand. The Moon is possessed by an evil spirit. And the spirit will very briefly laugh when it does an evil thing. Here’s a photo I was lucky enough to get last Friday evening.

Nasa would claim Challenger was a success since no one on the ground was hit. Hubble was a success since it only took one mission to put glasses on it to correct a mirror ground and polished to the wrong figure. Columbia completed it’s mission. Just had a hard landing.

Near or at the landing site?? Which is it, Dr Doofus?
“...An amazing successful landing...”
Except it fell over, Dr. Dumbass.
Just typical BS double speak.

NASA has too many old people who believe: Any landing you can ambulate away from (regardless of how fast you have to move) is a good landing and that it is a great landing if you can use the vehicle again.
