@luckytran but not functional enough for an RCS thruster to kick it right side up? mood, mood.
@luckytran Can we get those plucky little Mars rovers transferred over to the Moon and have them gift the lander a hand up?
@luckytran that’s great news! The previous lander ended up upside down, and the one before that a sploded, so hopefully the next one will do even better.
No wait, I just remembered the next one will probably be starship, so that’s definitely falling over and exploding.
Probably an error 1201. Where is #NielArmstrong when you need him?
@luckytran Been there.
@luckytran "Still functioning!" - Me @ Sunday morning
@luckytran …I couldn't argue with that even if I wanted to, I literally saw this while lying on my side
#intuitivemachines #moonlander is totally wearing pants on the #zoom call...
They should build moon landers like those old toy cars that would flip over and just roll right-side-up again.
@luckytran Boldly presuming I’m functional.
@luckytran So all those years of Battlebots was for nothing.
@luckytran @SRDas I'm forced to point out that moon lander designers need to watch more robot wars episodes.
@luckytran Does it count if you're curled up in the fetal position listening to Tori Amos on repeat?
This seems to be the new normal for moon landings
@luckytran
Moon lander is my spirit animal
@luckytran that explains why the signal was weak, right? Antenna pointing the wrong direction!
@luckytran In my case I’m standing upright and am completely nonfunctional
@luckytran
I feel seen.

@luckytran
“Im not dead yet”
That’s a dangerous claim to make!
@Susan60 @luckytran
True but if you do it while you are able, it kind of frames and propels you forward or pauses your existence for only a moment of a snapshot and conduit of reflection. I guess it’s a good reminder, would be a little odd in afterlife though.
I was thinking of the blow to the head suffered by the man who called that out in “MP & the Holy Grail”.
@Susan60 @luckytran oh yes, I think I was channeling terry gilliam for some reason in passing, I think someone brought up the drawing with with a church in Barcelona the other day.
Same, moon lander. Same.
@luckytran Je suis Moon Lander
@luckytran brave of you to assume I’m functional.
@luckytran @dsilverman I relate. So does @NarrelleMHarris.
Honestly, same
@luckytran
It's the aliens, fucking with us.
Their version of cow tipping.
@luckytran we need a moon lander little dark age edit now...
@luckytran Has it wet itself lying in a gutter with a pizza box hat? Easy like a Sunday morning.
@luckytran spent millions of dollars over years to have it tip us over at the last second?
Sure. I guess.
Also watching the broadcast to see not a mask in sight. Including a hall packed full of people.
Ok send someone to tip it over…
@luckytran More than I've managed for the last two days, certainly.
