ha, landed upside down but was still able to release spherical rovers that could even then take a picture of it… thats so cool!
afaik it flipped over at landing and the rovers where released about 5m above ground.
Honestly pretty awesome it could automatically compensate against loosing almost 50% of thrust, stay perfectly on trajectory and land successfully.
The Chinese lander, i think last year, didnt have compensation-features built-in and crashed.
Title: Let’s all of us laugh at Japan’s failure haha
Yeah, no.
Space is extremely unforgiving. The fact that the vessel is intact is a great success.
They landed in the 100 square meter target area, free of obstructions, autonomously, and released experimental rovers. It IS a success. Why doesnt the great techspot.com land a craft on the moon if it’s so fucking easy?
Lol why is this getting down voted?
It’s a terrible headline that completely downplays a successful mission. Instead of focusing on the fact that they achieved a landing accuracy of 55m where previous missions measured in kilometres they went for a cheap joke. This is in spite of having a thruster fail that resulted in the lander tipping over but still able to deploy is rover. The same article from a better website would have probably faired better.
It’s also worth noting it was always supposed to land with the solar panels on its side, the issue is that they ended up pointing west (in the shade, not producing power) instead of to the east (towards the sun).
The fact that it still handled the asymmetrical thrust after the nozzle broke off one of its two engines to make it down in one piece, and only the orientation happened to be wrong, is still a great achievement.
If the hardware survives the chill (heaters not running from lack of power) it might still resume its mission when the sun changes position in the sky and the panels start getting light.
Oh, OK. I thought people didn’t like that it’s an actual tech post. Yeah, article title could’ve been better.
The people have spoken and apparently they prefer Elon Musk news to actual tech news.
It’s not because it’s not Elon Musk. It’s because the headline horribly misrepresents the situation.
Lol “I don’t like this man that influences technology so I don’t want to see it in a technology sub, and no one else should either!!” I see this alllll the time on here and its cringe as fuck. I don’t like the Chinese government either but I’m not going to whine and cover my ears and eyes everytime they do something technology related and beg everyone to just ignore anything the do to affect said technology. Its so childish and stupid.
OK. You can downvote this as many times as you want to. You can kiss my happy butt goodbye. Enjoy your next story about Musk’s bowel movement.
People don’t like the article (and it’s click bait headline). Not the subject itself, and not you.
Take a breath.
I’ll not take the time to submit tech news to people that bury that news because they read something into a headline I didn’t create. I don’t need a breath. I need to stay away from such people. We’ll both be better off.
I don’t know what you’re missing here - the headline, which you didn’t create, is misleading. People don’t like misleading headlines because it’s giving the wrong impression of a successful mission.
You are taking this personally.
Yes, you do need to take a breath. Enjoy your day.
I’ll tell you what they’re missing - maturity. They’re acting like a spoiled child.
Interesting. So is taking a beating and not complaining a sign of maturity to you?
Taking a beating? Bro its made up internet points the fuck? Lol
It’s a question you refused to answer. I suspect your idea of mature is to never speak out, which is not mature but subservient
There are a ton of much better articles you could’ve posted instead of techspot. For example, Japan’s ‘moon sniper’ probe made incredibly accurate landing, but is now upside down. Plus, it was only upside-down because it rolled off a dune.
There are a ton of much better articles
Fine. You post them. Last I see a contribution from you to this sub was 2 months ago. Something about a Wikipedia mod.
It would be beneficial for all here if you could learn to not take things so personally, and take in some fair criticism about this particular post. But please stick around, the topic of the article is definitely interesting, thanks for that!
Touch moon grass dude
It’s already been posted. That would be a repost. Not every piece of ultrainteresting news I find concerns technology. And no, my last contribution was about stackoverflow proposing to allow some duplicates, which you should definitely read.
It’s definitely the headline. The article is perfect for the community, though.
I guess the snarky headline might’ve been a bit too much for some people
It’s the headline. I didn’t change it.
Thank you for posting. My issue is with the use of scare quotes in the title. It’s a terrible title and because of it, I won’t give them my click. Any organization that would use that title is only doing yellow journalism (or is so bad at writing that they dont see how it reads.)
Maybe edit out the quotation marks in the title.
Vote manipulation, especially whining about downvotes, will get you downvotes. (Should get you banned outright.)
Oh, I stopped subscribing to this little club about an hour ago. Have fun playing with yourself.
Lmao, you could de-ice the world’s roads with all that salt.
Don’t use salt. It’s bad for the heart. I do like his attitude, though. Finding a way to blame and penalize me is just the kind of nonsense that justified leaving this sub.
Just leave then if you are really that bothered. You are taking fake internet points way too seriously. It does not seem to be working out too well for your mental health there.
If you read what I wrote, you would know that I already left the sub. But you’re not interested in what I already expressed just as you’re not interested in my mental health. All you’re really interested in is kicking someone when they’re down. Surprise, MFer, it’s not me.
No not interested in kicking you while your down. You are still replying to every comment on this post, so have you really left the sub? I seriously hope you have a better day and learn to not take everything so personally.
Downvotes don’t matter…
Originally this post was well past double figures downvotes. That puts it beneath a threshold to be displayed on any page. Why would a person spend the time to submit something no one would see?
I don’t think it will happen every time. :)
Oh get down off your cross. It takes all of 45 seconds to submit a link.
