Yeah, they were having some communication issues.
Still pretty exciting!

Saw today it fell over on landing so not sure it that means it can't send data or video

Odysseus is "upright and starting to send data" After some intense waiting, Intuitive Machines, the company behind the Odysseus lunar landing mission, has confirmed the spacecraft is "upright and starting to send data." That's a major milestone. An upright landing potentially puts Odysseus in a better position than even Japan's SLIM "Moon Sniper" mission. SLIM was deemed a success as it made a soft touchdown, but later was revealed to have landed in a position that left its solar panels pointed in the wrong direction, causing that spacecraft to quickly lose power. "Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface," Intuitive Machines said in a post on social media platform X. www.cnn.com/us/live-news/nasa-odysseus-moon-landing-intuitive-machines-scn/index.html |

Then this... CNN — The Odysseus lunar lander is sideways on the moon, Intuitive Machines, the company that built the vehicle, said during a news conference Friday. The revelation comes after Intuitive Machines had initially described Odysseus, also called “Odie” or IM-1, as “upright” in an update posted to the social media platform X just after the historic mission made its touchdown on the lunar surface Thursday. But the company’s CEO, Steve Altemus, said data later showed that the spacecraft was likely tilted on its side after having caught one of its feet on a lunar rock. www.cnn.com/2024/02/23/world/odysseus-lunar-landing-sideways-scn/index.html?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc |

Funny today with all the computers and high tech we seem to have a much harder time getting to the moon than we had 55 years ago when so much was analog controlled. Earlier in the year another attempted moon landing failed.

When I watched the first moon landing they didn't describe it in detail using terms people couldn't understand. This video is two hours of "I should have made donuts instead."

It must have been so very exciting to see the first man on the moon live, as it was happening.
What an incredible achievement.
And I just have to say it:
THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND.

I'm sure it was on in my house, too, but I was only 5 at the time.

This just made me think that we, who are slightly older people, have been through so much and seen so much change over the years and decades.
From little black and white TV's to talking to people thousands of miles away on a small hand held device (cell phone). Quite incredible when you think about it.
I wonder what the next several decades will bring? 30. 40 or 50 years from now. Will the world change so much that we will have a hard time recognising it?
I have a feeling that robots will be much more common place and it will be hard to tell the difference between actual humans and robot people. And what about pets? I imagine having a robot dog, that looks and acts just like a real dog, but never gets sick and never has to die?
