To The Moon

It seems the landing was a success so we await some pictures

Amazing the couldn't film the actual touchdown. The 1960s wins again

Stanley Kubrick remains the master of moon landings

How could they film the touchdown

 

[Mad as Fish]

How could they film the touchdown

When science fails, just believe…..

 

[PlunkettsGhost]

How could they film the touchdown

Oh, I dunno, a couple of remotely operated hi-res cameras attached to the outer shell or landing struts

Seems like a small thing in 2023

 

[Declan]

Well we can safely assume they were not used.

Do some people think the simulation video was real. All those Indians gazing st a screen and reacting is very odd.

 

[Hermit]

Does this cartoon spacecraft remind you of a certain logo? You'd think with the billions of dollars spent on this shit they could attach a few 4K cameras to the thing and live-stream it.

But, just in case it's all true and perhaps it could be, never say never and all that, well here's some stunning news . . .


. . . . India has successfully landed on the Moon – for less than the cost of the film Interstellar.

The Indian space agency announced on Wednesday that it had completed a “soft landing” on the lunar surface, near its southern pole. It becomes the first ever to land there, and just the fourth country to successfully send a mission to the Moon at all.

And it did so on a very restrictive budget. The Chandrayaan-3 cost was sent to the Moon at a cost of about 6.15 billion rupees, or $75 million, according to Reuters.

That is less than the cost of most blockbuster space films. Gravity cost $100 million, The Martian cost $108 million – and it was less than half the cost of Interstellar, which was filmed on a budget of $165 million.

It even costs less than some houses. The UK’s most expensive house, for instance, went on sale at £200 million, or nearly three-and-a-half missions to the Moon.

India just landed on the Moon for less than it cost to make Interstellar

Some houses cost less than Indian space agency spent on getting to the Moon

This is amazing news in relative terms we can all chip in and do our own independent fact finding space trip now, all we need is a few wealthy benefactor patrons and a go fund me page and whatever . . .
Some might say the firmament is within reach now - Just a mere €75mil can bring us there

Next year maybe this site can land a rover on the moon, especially if Val returned, we could make it a manned mission

Well poor Val is a proper space cadet alright.

Chandrayaan-3: India lunar rover Pragyaan takes a walk on the Moon

Chandrayaan-3's rover Pragyaan exits Vikram lander and takes first "steps" near the little-explored south pole.

www.bbc.co.uk

worst camera placement ever. Also, looks super pixelated and low res. Once again, 1960s tech wins

This lander is supposed to be right next to the Russian crash site. We'll be getting debris photos any day now....any day

There'll already be a corner shop set up on it to replenish supplies.

 

[Declan]

Possibly.

We need to wait one year for artemis 3

 

[Declan]

When they are to do a crewed fly by. Actually Artemis 2.

2025, is when they try to land a person on the moon.

These videos appear totally fake. The surface could not be flying past like that and the rover could not leave thread marks in dust .

And why would ridiculous music be added.

And wheres the other 2 or 3 angles simultaneously recorded? My budget phone has 3 lenses on it! plunketts ghost is spot on in regard to comments made on most all the vids so far - Fake as Hell, are we to believe that's all there is to it?
There must be better footage out there. What's going on

A reception committee perhaps, little green lads hurling rocks at the lander telling it to feck off back to where it came from.
