American spaceship finally made it to the moon

 WASHINGTON: The first American spaceship on the Moon since Apollo is "alive and well" following a drama-packed touchdown, the company that built it said Friday (Feb 22) as it worked to download data and images from the uncrewed robot....

 Odysseus is the first success for a new fleet of NASA-funded lunar landers designed to carry out science investigations that pave the way for the return of American astronauts to the Moon later this decade, under the Artemis program. CNA

Oops, wait a minute...

Intuitive Machines, the company behind this first-ever lunar landing by a private company, initially posted on social media that its hexagonal spaceship was upright, but CEO Steve Altemus told reporters on Friday that statement was based on misinterpreted data.

Instead, it appears that it caught a foot on the surface and tipped over, coming to rest horizontally with its top perched on a small rock -- taking some shine off an accomplishment widely hailed as a historic achievement. Yahoo News

The final story, the lander is well on the moon surface but lying on its side, still able to send data and images, but not going anywhere. Well, it is the best effort of the Americans so far. The big question, if it could not even land a lander right side up on the moon, could it land a rover on the Mars right side up? Of course they could, if not how to send back data from Mars. Really? Who is there to prove that the data really came from the rover in Mars, or was the rover really in Mars?

And the bigger question, did the Americans really land on the moon in the 1960s? Of course they did. They landed on the moon many times, with many astronauts strutting around, jumping and tumbling on the surface of the moon. Really? Sure, the Americans said so. Then how come they could not even land a simple lander on the moon with today's advanced technology? That is the problem. Today's advanced technology is too advanced, too far ahead for the lander to keep up with. No?

Actually, the truth is that all the moon landing technology and data were stolen by China and the Americans have nothing left to work on. So they have to start from scratch. First, must make sure they have a rocket to take them to the moon. Next, they must learn how to land a lander upright and not sideway. Thirdly, they have to find out if humans can survive passing through the Van Allen Radiation Belt. The Americans are still testing this. They have forgotten that they had many astronauts flying many missions through this Belt and came back alive. So they must confirm that this is still the case before sending their astronauts to the moon again!

The short cut is for the Americans to beg the Chinese to return all the data and technology stolen by China. See how easy the Chinese land their rover on the moon, like a piece of cake. Thanks to American's 1960s backward technology. Maybe the Chinese can sell the data and technology back to the Americans as a goodwill gesture.

Poor Americans. the Chinese also stole their 5G and 6G technologies until the Americans cannot put up a workable 5G network in America, and too shy to beg the Chinese to return the technology to them.

Let's all wait for more spins from the lander Odysseus now lying on the lunar surface. It is still alive and well. Perhaps the Americans can ask the Chinese rover, moon rabbit, for help to give the Odysseus a nudge to turn it upright. Oops, ask the Indians, they also have a rover in the South Pole of the moon, definitely nearer to the American lander.

Help, Hollywood, help!
