  Headline is misleading. The Nokia hardware worked fine; it’s the host vehicle from Intuitive Machines that tipped over and ran out of power.

    Wait isn’t intuitive the one that tipped over last time as well?

      That’s correct. IM-1 in Feb 2024 and IM-2 in Mar 2025 both ended with tipped-over landers.

  Imagine livestreaming video from 4G-connected rovers and other cameras on the moon, right to your phone, whenever you want. That would be wild…

    I reccomend that anyone and everyone who can afford to do this start planning for it immediately. Just get in a ship, and leave earth. Go now.

  Why the fuck are they even trying this?

  Even under perfect conditions it takes more than 2 seconds for the radio waves to go to the moon and back.
