- gregoriol 4y agoMaybe it's very hard to get everything working together? A lot of spacecrafts have failed on various missions, not just moon, since the beginning of space exploration. This is not 1960s unlimited race budgets, this makes things harder.

- firstlink 4y agoOkay now practice your next line, "there's no way we could have known!"
- Aperocky 4y ago> just before landing I would characterize it as failing during the landing process, or lithobraking if you will.
- biorach 4y ago> lithobraking Love it
- detrites 4y agoOnce is chance, twice is coincidence, three times ...
- Waterluvian 4y ago...means landing must be one of the tricky parts. Just like how landing a plane is one of the tricky parts.
- detrites 4y agoHow many landings succeeded? Then do percent successes vs failures, broken down as government and commercial. Then ask why's only commercial landing the tricky part? It's not like these people are stupid, nor like they haven't had multiple decades to learn from plus the state of the art. Three in a row is as weird to me as if there were seven in a row. All only commercial, while govt landed fine. Would you think that odd too?
- dmreedy 4y agohttps://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/beyond_earth_detail.html https://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/beyond_earth_detail.html this is a neat book on the history of unmanned spaceflight. Take a look and see how long it took to get a probe into orbit. Into someone else's orbit. All that before they even tried landing anywhere For moon landings, sourced from wikipedia[0] but you can certainly find the information in the aformentioned book: > Luna 15, Luna 18, and Luna 23 all crashed [into the moon] on landing; and the U.S. Surveyor 4 lost all radio contact only moments before its landing. Finally, here's a list of rocket launch failures in 2022 https://www.space.com/12-biggest-rocket-failures-2022 https://www.space.com/12-biggest-rocket-failures-2022 --- [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing
- Waterluvian 4y agoAnd if we’re approaching this from a “it’s a conspiracy!” point of view, we then must also consider all the crashes they aren’t telling us about. ;)
- detrites 4y agoGood wikipedia list, thanks. So, moon landings where the craft suddenly and unexpectedly lost comms in the seconds or minutes immediately prior to contact with the surface: Government: 1 of 25 (4%) Commercial: 3 of 3 (100%) I'm saying it's odd, weird, and deserves investigating specifically from the angle of why commercial has this happen, but not government. I'm saying this because it is odd. I've not once mentioned conspiracy - though others seem ready to jump to that, probably as a subtle ad hominem instead of engaging with the discussion. Thank you for engaging, it's an interesting topic.
- bagels 4y ago... they're crashing on purpose? What are you trying to imply?
- wincy 4y agoIf Kerbal Space Program has taught me anything, it’s that getting to the moon isn’t that difficult with enough rocket fuel. Stopping at the moon without blowing up and leaving a small crater, now that’s difficult.
- bogwog 4y agoIs this the beginning of a new conspiracy theory?
