It landed sideways like 250 meters away from the intended landing zone. Did you know the moon has way more craters than Earth?

Craters = Shadows

The thing ain’t got no sunlight yo, and its laying sideways in the shade, so no power…

I’m pretty sure they didn’t expect it to land sideways. Yeah, there are a lot of craters. They can be avoided. Check out how Firefly’s guidance system was able to change landing locations to avoid hazards.

I don’t need to check Firefly’s guidance system. The Athena team should check into that though, apparently this is their second similar failure.

Send them the email, not me, I’m just a nobody.

I meant check it out if you want to be informed. Otherwise, why comment if you’re admitting you are wilfully ignorant?
