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?
