I'm not sure if any other forum members have any involvement with the current moon lander programs (reach out if you do!) but after the disappointing first attempt last month I'm super excited to see that today's SpaceX-IM1 launch has gone well and the Intuitive Machines moon lander is on her way to the moon!

Fingers crossed it makes it all the way to the lunar surface and my lasers (part of the NDL landing system) do their job!! (FYI, NDL = Navigational Doppler Lidar)

The flat earth society are making a movie, the ending is rumoured to be a real cliff hanger.....

Flat Earthers are not likely to believe that whole “an asteroid killed the dinosaurs” theory, either.

It’s clear Flat Earthers aren’t “cat people” 😗

I prefer the version where it's on top of the 4 elephants on the back of a giant turtle.

Yeah, I'm wondering if they wanted to do another trip around the moon just to get away from all the media hype of Elon Musk's latest Starship launch (and explosion.... sorry, non-nominal vehicle dismantling, or somethin like that!).
