NASA confirms Odysseus TIPPED OVER on the moon

“NASA has confirmed that the first private owned spacecraft to land on the moon has 'tipped over on its side' - but is 'alive and well.'

Intuitive Machines had previously received data that its $118 million Odysseus was standing with its six feet on the ground, but updates reveled the lander is laying on the lunar landscape.

The company noted one of the legs became caught, causing it to fall onto its side - just one day after a white-knuckle touchdown that was confirmed as a soft landing.

CEO Steve Altemus explained he and his team were not deliberately misleading the public when they shared on X about America's return to the lunar surface - they were just 'working with old telemetry.' …”

^^^That’s not SpaceX and probably belongs in this thread: https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...935/m/2580009605/p/1.

I'm disappointed that more footage from the ground isn't possible with all the advancements in drone technology. The channel I was watching had three views of the empty pad with one view of the rocket ascending through overcast.

That booster loss sucked with it being so close to returning but perhaps those grid fins are too large and exert too much directional change?
