That's an impressive school project! First university to land on the moon
- lukan 3y agoUnless they would have build and operated the rocket themself (and not SpaceX), I would consider that a false clickbait headline.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoA decade ago, maybe. Today? SpaceX is commoditizing access to space - we're at the point we can start treating Earth-orbit delivery as a given, i.e. just a service you pay money for.
- lukan 3y agoEarth orbit maybe. But here we are at earth-moon. And the lander is not build or operated by the school/university either.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoFlying to the moon is the easy part. Landing is the trick.
- lukan 3y agoFlying is not so easy either, and the landing is done by the private company, not by the school.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoWeight it by funding and I’ll bet you the school cube sat comes out far ahead.
