An attempt at the first privately funded lunar landing is about to take place, and you can watch a live stream of the effort in 2 hours.
The privately built Hakuto-R Series 1 lander is carrying two small moon rovers: the Sora-Q and the Rashid, built by the United Arab Emirates space agency.
The mission is primarily a test event aimed at proving iSpace’s ability to successfully land a payload on the lunar surface.
@thewebrecluse THANK YOU for this alert. This is a BIG event in history.
@codeWhisperer Its HUGE even if they don't manage the landing it's an amazing collaboration by several countries, businesses, and teams. No privately funded companies have managed this yet ... so I'm really looking forward to Japan accomplishing this. ❤️
Comparing this with the SpaceX rocket.
THIS is the way space exploration needs to be done. A broad international coalition, focused on the science, taking achievable steps.
Not focused on one ego.
@tyghebright Afuckingmen to this TRUTH. It takes a team, it takes collaboration ... this is why SpaceX continues to fail miserably.
