Yes, the lunar module landed upside down but within 11 yards of its target.

Japan’s moon landing picture might be the space photo of the decade

It's really hard to touch down on the lunar surface.

Well done, Japan. We only did that in 1969. Right side up. For f*ck’s sake.

The value in this is the landing windows used to be much, much larger.

A successful landing was always going to be a coin toss. It simply came up tails this time.

11 yards? I thought the English system is verboten and space scientist measured things in ducks. For instance..

Asteroid the size of two ducks impacts above Germany | The Jerusalem Post

Asteroid 2024 BX1 impacted above Germany, disintegrating into a harmless fireball near Berlin. This marks the eighth time an asteroid was predicted right before an impact like this.

Was Neil Armstrong up there manning the chains?

That's what happens when you read from right to left and drive on the wrong side of the road....

Seriously they did better than us on our most recent attempt.

So apparently it’s not a failure, as I had assumed.
