To The Moon

[AN2]

I've come to the conclusion that engineering is the only real demonstration of science.
Either it's working or breaking.

When I watched the Apollo 17 documentary I posted above I was reminded of this from the movie Apollo 13, the CO2 problem -

In Sept 2024, it was scheduled to do a crewed fly by and around the moon. It is postponed many times and the date now is April 2026. That remains to be seen

So I just watched this video that was in my YouTube feed (published a year+ ago)

The Silicone Six didn't even go into orbit, they just got catapulted upwards and then fell back down again..

Japan moon landing may have failed as mission control goes silent

If successful, it would be the first lunar landing ever achieved by a private company in Asia.

Maybe they are just photographing a Giant Mars Bar some-where ? !
