    The company [that helped build the rover] is perhaps most famous for originally creating the Transformers, the alien robots that can disguise themselves as machines

    So, Transformers on moon confirmed.

      I’m surprised they didn’t blame the crash on the Decepticons!

      … actually it was caused by one of the engines falling off! (or the nossle anyway)

    Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot.

    The fact that this line is in the article just reminds me how dumb tech illiterate most people are.

    So at this point, we’ve been there in person. We fully understand the atmosphere, the gravity, and the topology. We have laser range finding, lidar, stereoscopic vision. Trajectory and velocity are both more or less solved problems by this point, right?.. Right? There’s only 2.7 seconds of light delay. How have we screwed up so many landings?
