That is the ****ty, hyperbolic, selective, one sided crap I've come to expect from the NYT. Obviously written by an environmentalist with an agenda and trying to make a name for herself.

They are currently in Phase 2, Cruise Landing Burn descending from 100km to 25km altitude. This is expected to last 45min.

They just started the deorbit burn. Craft is dropping from 6000km/hr to 380km/hr and dropping from 25km to 3km altitude.

They are posting some pretty sweet pictures, solar eclipse, and videos of the lunar terrain during the flyover.

5 min before planned landing!

I am not one for space stuff, but watching SpaceX and now this is pretty incredible to watch.

Not quite NASA JPL level of production on this landing presentation.

Yeah. The lack of any return is not good.

If you aren't NASA/JPL then a landing anywhere is hard.

NASA/JPL lands Volkswagen sized landers on mars and drives them. Everyone else crashes little boxes on the moon.

No confirmation of a landing. Nothing definitive, but not looking good.

MCC still verifying status. Unless there's conflicting data, it's done. Impact speed, deceleration, propulsion system status and all that should have transferred to earth by now. All that will stream just up to impact, along with low-res video data or images depending on their antenna deployment. I know they were waiting to deploy high-gain antenna until after landing, but that seems like a mistake.

NASA been lying to everyone about the moon's gravity. There's a ton and folks are coming in way too hot to be able and pull out before smashing into the surface.

It's gone. Data up to the moment of landing, then nothing.
It went splat.

They did receive flight data from the landing so that's great to apply to future landings!

Maybe Moonfall is more accurate than we thought

Dang that sucks. Even running full mission sims with flat-sats and real-time lunar data is hard to stick a landing. It does make you appreciate what JPL and NASA did in the 60's so much more.

Probably helps that some of the greatest computers in history were running the lander and could make any adjustments for unforseen circumstances and fly by feel. Soviets crashed their unmanned lander.

Maybe it landed funny and tipped over? If the telemetry was accurate it the topography looked a little bumpy…

I think we found Bubblez official twitter account...

Read his other twitter posts and he's the poster-child for every anti-capitalism liberal out there, all while shilling over-priced tea and tea supplies from post-conflict regions. No word on if those regions get any profits, as their website just talks about how he served in the military and drank tea with locals in Afghanastan.

Tea, you say? Two more teas?

Certainly he would just take it to some other country right? If true, biden is a bigger idiot than I thought. All because some fuggin windows rattled and some sand got on some buildings.

Eta - big if. Didn't even look at any source material.

If the government did this I wouldn't be surprised if Elon denied them use of Falcon 9.
