Yeah yeah I could research this, but isn't there a TINY BIT of gravity on the moon (16% of the Earth's gravity)????? If that's the case, WHY IS THIS LANDER SO MUCH TALLER THAN IT IS WIDE?????!!!! Wouldn't this increase the likelihood of it TIPPING OVER as it did?

If I'm totally wrong about this, my apologies but I would like for a smarter FReeper to weigh in on this please!

When it comes to tipping over centre of gravity is a key concept. :)

The center of mass determines at what angle it would tip over, and that doesn’t change with gravity.
