Odysseus has less than a day left on the Moon before it freezes to death::So what are we to make of this? Is Odysseus a success or a failure?
And yet NASA thinks Artemis is a good idea…
I’d honestly be content with keeping the ISS up or expanding it with some new modules.
Failure. Both that and the Japanese probe made it to the moon. Odysseus was able to phone home briefly before its mission failed. The Japanese probe had Rovers successfully detach and return a picture of the failed landing
This was not a success. With that said it doesn’t mean there weren’t good things, from what I read they did a whole lot of things well. People seem to be unable to understand they can coexist.
Failure. Just as the Japanese one that was labeled a failure by the western news just weeks before that did the exact same thing. Articles were even published saying after japan’s failure, the US could be the first to land successfully on the moon in so many decades. And it didn’t so its a failure.
Japan’s lander met all of their own internal criteria for being considered a success. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s at least partially true for this lander as well. This thing was absurdly inexpensive relative to previous projects, IIRC.
I would agree that the Japanese lander was a success. But I refuse to enable western hypocrisy that labels the exact same actions by two different stages in opposing viewpoints just for propaganda.
a success or a failure?
What a heretic question!!
Nowadays everything is a success if at least the very first countdown has begun. You need to explode way before if you want to be called a failure.
