Title: Beresheet lunar lander
Post by: hamster_nz on April 11, 2019, 08:36:04 pm

What a shame it didn't land  :'(

You know you've played too many Space Sim games when you are watching the telemetry in the live stream and say.... "That doesn't add up... not much slowing down...  I hope that it gets really light as they burn off the remaining 90 kgs of fuel... how can you get through that fuel quick enough?  Oh.... that does not look good..."

(oh, and Falcon Heavy launch in a couple of hours)

I can't believe I used to think this was fun, on the 'C-64'.  (Jupiter Lander)   8)

The very first program I ever entered into a "computer" was Lunar Landing (TI-57). And I crashed myself as well.. Try again please..
