      afaik it flipped over at landing and the rovers where released about 5m above ground.
      Honestly pretty awesome it could automatically compensate against loosing almost 50% of thrust, stay perfectly on trajectory and land successfully.
      The Chinese lander, i think last year, didnt have compensation-features built-in and crashed.

    Title: Let’s all of us laugh at Japan’s failure haha

    Yeah, no.

    Space is extremely unforgiving. The fact that the vessel is intact is a great success.

      It’s a terrible headline that completely downplays a successful mission. Instead of focusing on the fact that they achieved a landing accuracy of 55m where previous missions measured in kilometres they went for a cheap joke. This is in spite of having a thruster fail that resulted in the lander tipping over but still able to deploy is rover. The same article from a better website would have probably faired better.

        Oh, OK. I thought people didn’t like that it’s an actual tech post. Yeah, article title could’ve been better.

    The people have spoken and apparently they prefer Elon Musk news to actual tech news.

      It’s not because it’s not Elon Musk. It’s because the headline horribly misrepresents the situation.

      Lol “I don’t like this man that influences technology so I don’t want to see it in a technology sub, and no one else should either!!” I see this alllll the time on here and its cringe as fuck. I don’t like the Chinese government either but I’m not going to whine and cover my ears and eyes everytime they do something technology related and beg everyone to just ignore anything the do to affect said technology. Its so childish and stupid.

    OK. You can downvote this as many times as you want to. You can kiss my happy butt goodbye. Enjoy your next story about Musk’s bowel movement.

      People don’t like the article (and it’s click bait headline). Not the subject itself, and not you.

      Take a breath.

        I’ll not take the time to submit tech news to people that bury that news because they read something into a headline I didn’t create. I don’t need a breath. I need to stay away from such people. We’ll both be better off.

          I don’t know what you’re missing here - the headline, which you didn’t create, is misleading. People don’t like misleading headlines because it’s giving the wrong impression of a successful mission.

          You are taking this personally.

          Yes, you do need to take a breath. Enjoy your day.

              Interesting. So is taking a beating and not complaining a sign of maturity to you?

                  It’s a question you refused to answer. I suspect your idea of mature is to never speak out, which is not mature but subservient

        There are a ton of much better articles

        Fine. You post them. Last I see a contribution from you to this sub was 2 months ago. Something about a Wikipedia mod.

          It would be beneficial for all here if you could learn to not take things so personally, and take in some fair criticism about this particular post. But please stick around, the topic of the article is definitely interesting, thanks for that!

          It’s already been posted. That would be a repost. Not every piece of ultrainteresting news I find concerns technology. And no, my last contribution was about stackoverflow proposing to allow some duplicates, which you should definitely read.

          Thank you for posting. My issue is with the use of scare quotes in the title. It’s a terrible title and because of it, I won’t give them my click. Any organization that would use that title is only doing yellow journalism (or is so bad at writing that they dont see how it reads.)

          Maybe edit out the quotation marks in the title.

        Originally this post was well past double figures downvotes. That puts it beneath a threshold to be displayed on any page. Why would a person spend the time to submit something no one would see?
