Pssshhhh dummies. There’s no wind on the moon.
There’s a wind on moon museum.
Wait, er, air in space.
I’ll come in again.
That is such a cool launch pad
Reminds me of Thunderbirds GO!
What is up with all these moon missions lately? First Russia, then India, now Japan.
It’s the cool retro thing all the kids are doing these days.
The 60s are in again.
moon, so hot right now
Launches got really cheap recently.
Earth’s fucked. Accelerating plans to advance technology so we can fuck up another planet.
And “we”, I am mean “them”. The wealthy and their servants.
Earth is not fucked, but having a proper moon base makes key technologys a necessity, like really large scale co2 scrubbers. Also, the moon is basically a new gold mine for Helium-3, which is going to be very important in the future.
Having large scale co2 scrubbers makes a huge difference on earth as well.
moon’s not a planet
Progress doesn’t start at settling on other planets. Gotta start to refine the technology ssomewhere.
pluto is a planet
Scrubs are cheaper than booms!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tokyo-based startup ispace’s (9348.T) lunar lander Hakuto-R Mission 1 failed in April.
JAXA was planning to start SLIM’s moon landing in January-February 2024 after Monday’s launch, aiming to follow the success of India’s Chandrayaan-3 lunar exploration mission this month.
The rocket was also carrying an X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) satellite, a joint project of JAXA, NASA and the European Space Agency.
H-IIA, jointly developed by JAXA and MHI, has been Japan’s flagship space launch vehicle, with a success rate of 98% since 2001.
However, after JAXA’s new medium-lift H3 rocket failed on its debut in March, the agency postponed the launch of H-IIA No.
Japan’s recent space-related efforts have faced other setbacks, with the launch failure of the Epsilon small rocket in October 2022, followed by an engine explosion during a test last month.

I like to think this was playing until the last second before they made that decision
