for real! It happened twice! How many boulders are there?!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it needs to look like a bug, the LEM was way shorter and it would take a lot more to tip it over.Yup. They're saying days to get pictures, which makes me wonder if their high gain antenna is not available (pointed at the ground)?
I'm assuming it has a high gain antenna; most of the photos I've seen are of one side of the vehicle.
Laser rangefinder could not be turned on - apparently a human safety interlock that prevents injury on the ground was inadvertently left on at launch.

Am I the only one picturing a Starship based lunar lander lying on its side on the lunar surface?I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it needs to look like a bug, the LEM was way shorter and it would take a lot more to tip it over.
This is a high level failure. Maybe a marketing person designed the lander vs an engineer. Estes did a better job over 50 years ago- I've seen those things of various sizes land on all 4 legs.I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it needs to look like a bug, the LEM was way shorter and it would take a lot more to tip it over.
No…Am I the only one picturing a Starship based lunar lander lying on its side on the lunar surface?
I wish I could draw cartoons... I have one along those lines in my head, but wouldn't be as good explained. Maybe I'll draw it with stick figures..Am I the only one picturing a Starship based lunar lander lying on its side on the lunar surface?
Good discussion from Scott Manley:
I've fallen and I can't get up!
