Intuitive Machines, the Houston-based company that was set to deliver a historic water-hunting mission to the moon’s south pole, announced that its Athena lander has powered down just one day after arriving at the lunar surface.

Please help make this go viral! We have to step up our game because our representatives are clearly not going to save us from this fast moving coup! The only thing we really can do that's nonviolent is slow production. Cost them money. Don't get fired. Don't hurt anyone. But do more where youcan
Making business with rookies having no space experience is 'natural' to end with such faliure!! Try 'ME' next time but I'm expensive as I need some billions of $s to set up some business!
To preface — I’m not a conspiracist BUT, why is that we’ve been unable to get back to the Moon since the 60’s with even better technology now than then?
It's a real letdown to hear about the Athena lander's unexpected shutdown. The moon’s south pole holds such potential for discovery. Let's hope the mission isn’t over yet—there's always a chance for a comeback in space exploration!
so far, for the week: moon:2 - humans:1. it's part of a learning curve. no one said space was easy. and it's only a few imbeciles who want to move to Mars and i for one am happy if they go there.
Looks like it's time to start getting news somewhere else. Not sure why the f#ck
CNN continues to give a platform to these lunatics. Jennings, Luntz should be on FOX. Not CNN. I guess #Moneytalks ffs
Give the Job back to NASA. They did it 50 years ago. Private companies delivered enough exploding rockets, crashes on the moon and stranded astronauts in space.

There are people in my state that don't have any water.
None of them are worried about a pipe dream.
They just want to live like most of us.
They don't need a $100,000 rocket that blows up, second this year.
Waste?
“Houston, we have a problem.”

Should I ever do an video
podcast - I will wear a mask in your honor.
Since 100% of their Landers ended up sideways, why not put some legs on that side and pretend it was designed to do that?
Surely that's less embarrassing than loads of pictures of lunar landers with their arses in the air?
