I think the only one that can solve all of their problems is elon. He would fix it in few weeks. Include him in next launch, he will troubleshoot directly on the Moon. Please, someone, send that asshole to space.
And he’s so full of hot air he doesn’t even need a suit.
He would try to smoke the moon regolith and come up with some rad ideas. Occupy Moon! Yeeeeaah
I mean, I would too, just to see if the moon is special.
I mean look, scientists (and random bored people) for thousands of years did the same thing. Tasted things, consumed things to see what they do…
Has anyone smoked the moon yet? No. So we don’t actually know. We can speculate it does nothing, but we don’t know.
Maybe snort moon dust? Probably more practical.
That would be awesome. It’s pretty much super asbestos.
Elon in his Cave Johnson era and we’re here for it
Had me in the first half, ngl
Haha, that was the idea 🤣
I’d like to share a design concept with IM given that this is their second moon topple:
Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down!
I mean, you’re not wrong. A low center of mass is legitimately a good idea.
The first one fell over and sank into the
swampcrater.Sooooo we built another one
That sank into a crater. So we built a third one. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into a crater. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Lad, the strongest spacecraft on all of the Moon.
But I just want to sing
- Not to leave the room… even if you come and get him.
No, no. Until I come and get him.
- Until you come and get him, we’re not to enter the room.
No, no, no… etc.
Breaking news, space is really really hard
It’s not space that’s hard. It’s the stuff you encounter when you run out of space that’s hard.
Like when you run into me bc I’m hard 4 u bb. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A hard void.
When one day we get people back on the moon, is there a chance these devices could be brought back online?
More likely salvaged as part of a permanent moon base.
Well, if we have boots on the moon, at that point we don’t need probes like these. At that point you just drop a sensor, or whatever experiment you want directly on the surface.
I was looking at it from the perspective of all the failed probes we’ve sent and whether or not the lost costs/missions could be recouped or completed somehow.
Depends on how long it sits there, the lunar surface has a pretty wide range of temperatures that cause wear, lots of radiation and the regolith is quite abrasive. But realistically by the time something gets there that could put it back it’ll probably not be worth it from anything but a historical standpoint.
I hadn’t considered the damage from radiation. Thanks for the perspective.
Brought back*
No need for this trash on the moon, even if it works.
Athena (goddess of wisdom and war, strange combo).
Why?
There is no wisdom in war.
For some, war is not a choice
Company that topled a mooncraft… topled another mooncraft.
Whoopsi-doodles. Well, more spare parts on the Moon, all the same.
He’s dead, Jim.
Seems Firefly Aerospace has got this all sorted, though. Amazing feat for them last week to have a flawless landing.
This could have potentially happened to Apollo 11, had Armstrong not taken over manually to steer clear of the targeted landing site with some rough areas. Maybe it would have been just leaning and not a big deal, but at the time we had no clear idea what a real landing would end up like. And I would hazard a guess that even though we’ve done a lot over the decades, the polar regions of the Moon are still pretty unknown.
…but at the time we had no clear idea what a real landing would end up like…
Surveyor - “What am I? Chopped liver???”
