You know what they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing..😅

SLIM: I Have touched down.
JAXA mission control: "celebrates"
Sora-Q: hold up JAXA, the lander is upside-down.
JAXA mission control: WTF

- Duh! ??? We landed! YEAH!! ___But....we were trying for a foward gymnastic spin in the air befor a spectacular landing. TA-DA-DA!!! But were told afterwards that there is no air on the moon.

the title + the thumbnail of this short are "Did Japan Land Upside Down On The Moon?" + "THAT IS AMAZING!"
lol

[jessiehill]

I'm wondering, if it has any fuel left over from the landing, if any ground venting or actual firing of an engine or engines could right it, put it upright

[NaiZYaJ]

Add Ksp title screen with that backround and look its ksp 3!

[francisschweitzer]

I think the engines did a Starship… kicking up a lot of debris and POOF

[foxdown]

It's exactly like the Kerbal space program thing.🤣

[iwannistsalkitzides]

The moon is flat


That is explaining the upside down landing

😅😅

[winstonscates]

I wonder if the maneuvering thrusters could right it?

[robotswithemotion]

Dude where about to land on the moon ! ( somebody in the back ) " DO A FLIP!"

[Praetor-KelTelo]

is that 🩸 or is that jus the ☀️ reflecting off of it and the 📸 captured it weirdly?

[moonlord]

The engine literaly said: "F++k this sh++, am out"

[billyhagood]

We are going to pollute the moon with only being there a few times, we suck

Have none of these space agencies ever heard of a Weeble Wobble?
Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down.
