  • Ispace reveals why....

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 28 08:48:27 2023
    but I can't find it. Misleading headlines are so annoying.

    My best guess is they ran out of gas a bit short of the landing....and crashed.

    Let's go electric and build charging stations on the moon.

    Shmoos are in line to become the next great detective agency.

    Don't hold back. Blame it on George Soros, or China's "deep state", or
    even MTG's "Jewish space lasers".

    Bad things don't just happen. They're always engineered by someone
    Shmoos hate and fear.

    “In the final touch down phase the telemetry showed that it was at zero altitude ... the lander thought it was on the lunar surface, but in
    reality it wasn’t,” says Ryo Ujiie, ispace’s chief technology officer. “The lander kept descending and then it ran out of propellant. After
    that, we observed some really unstable behaviour and an increase in velocity.”
