They mention a recycling of the radios after 15 minutes then switching antenna pairs.

So we put men on the moon using the equivalent computing power of a Ti-85 calculator and managed to communicate with them but 50+ years later and giant leaps in technology and yet still we aren't seeing common, reliable moon landings? ??

The mission director said the lander is on the moon and transmitting. What the status/orientation is unknown but it may take 30 minutes or more.
Some one will have a cartoon of the SLIM lander on its nose and IM-1 on top of it. |

They seemed encouraged by the signal that the lander was healthy.
If so, Americans are still kings of the moon. |

WTF over
I watched every attached youtube link and have seen no actual landing of anything! Just simulations of what it looked like! As advanced as we claim to be we could not get any actual video of this event?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Don't/didn't we get a video feed from the Mars rover? NASA probably paid billions for that. This mission was surely far less. Maybe $100 million but I have never seen a cost for it. I remember the choppy video of a lander with a parachute and a heat shield detaching. The lander landed and the delivery vehicle separated and crashed as designed away from the lander. Not sure what mission that was. Also not sure that was live video. Pretty sure it was just a dump over the datalink when the antennas (planets) were in optimum positions once or twice a day. |

I mean it's really cool and all but didn't we land on the moon more than 50 years ago? Not sure what the big deal would be anymore.
