もう一度 挑戦しよう！
you got to find that funny… CGI moon landing with no dust.. then straight to a dusty foot print
is this a joke?? I guess the graphics card failed… that's what happened
Similar thing happened to India's Chandrayaan 2, descent was pretty okay until the last few moments.
I do not understand the delayed reaction.
You could literally follow the crash landing by the shown telemetry data:
It started perfectly(!): 7000 m height and 700 km/h speed, 6000 m height and 600 km/h speed and so on… 2000 km height and 200 km/h speed and so on, down to 1000 m. Only then it started to deviate to an obvious crash landing…
Everyone there must be aware of this except the poor person at the microphone talking and talking and talking ….
You guys think there's a camera team filming the whole thing from every angle? Get a grip. That said this coverage did suck.
That's sad. But it's Japan's first attempt. Ganbatte kudasai!
You couldnt slow it manually? With the math difference in the transmission time lag?
頑張ってください。
Should've got the guys that orchestrated Pearl Harbour in to do the job. Other than that, what a load of nonsense.
Seems to me (non science person) that establishing a ring of comsats either around the Moon or in orbits allowing communications to remain uninterrupted during visual occultation was a prime necessity for preparing any lunar orbiting/landing of satellites/probes.
That we haven't yet created such a network (50 years) seems a bit like putting the cart before the horse.
Amazing effort by all concerned. /respect.
The world needs to thank Elon Musk for what he's doing because as we can see here, it's not easy as a private company to conquer space.
“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too….”
Congratulations!
You need a pilot …
The one about the moon landing in 1969
Someone should explain to me how it was possible to land on the moon in 1969 with the available technology without any problems. And in 2023, where the technology should be far advanced. It is not possible to land unscathed in space or on the moon ??????
Thank you! A wonderful 99.9% success. Much good effort. All learning includes challenges. After learned, we run forward with much quality results.
Очень жаль
IT LANDED BUT IN PIECES HA HA
I bet they lost it about 100 yards before touchdown when he says it may have lost connection, according to the telemetry may have broke up
Rotfl
Maybe next time.
Salute to human beings who explore science and technology. Since the 21st century, the success rate of human landing on the moon has been 50%. 6 in total, one each failure for Israel, India and Japan, 3 success for China. Thank Japan for providing a lesson of failure.
to have failed in the final few seconds is truely tragic for all concerned
60 kilometres per hour at 20 metres altitude…🤔that’s 17 metres per second…😬 that’s a hard landing …
just goes to show how talented the teams in the USA are and shows how hard a successful mission really is
What is a “randing on the runar surface”?
Amazing effort and an amazing team
Control+Alt+Delete usually works…
next mission: India japan and saudi jointly land rover on moon and mars or more further
