First US moon landing in 50 yrs?

[JTS11]

Hell, this looks like the landing timeline my HT IP blocked out for me on about FAM-3 in the TH-57B..😄

All kidding aside, hope it works!

I don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at. Can you give this a little more context for those of us who aren't watching CNN?

A private US company is attempting to land a vehicle on the south pole of the moon in about an hour. It would be the first US craft to land on the moon since the Apollo program.

First of at least 3 robotic lunar landing missions by Intuitive Machines as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) Program. The lunar lander, named Odysseus, will fly 6 payloads for NASA and several others for commercial companies to near Malapert. A crater near the Moon's south pole.

Mild thread jack for the sake of a humorous anecdote…way back in 1980 I was a young enlisted Marine taking night classes at a nearby university. On leaving class and walking across the quad I saw several students crying, weeping, and generally carrying on, so, I asked what was going on…”Lennon is dead,” one wept, and I looked at her curiously, and responded, “Yeah, Lenin died in 1924.”

It goes without saying that there was a failure to communicate that evening.

Looks like they did it! Basically accomplishing what we already did in June of 1966.

The Dude: It’s like what Lenin said…you look for the person who will benefit, and, uh, uh…

I didn’t see any mention of an almighty Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch…WTFO???

For the record, I wore my almighty vintage 145.022-71 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch to VFW Post 1042’s band night tonight…to eat Tombstone Pizza and to see if I could keep up with the band’s drummer with my official School of Rock sticks and newly acquired Eastrock practice pad…

You’re supposed to be looking at my almighty vintage 145.022-71 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch in post #11 of this thread.

I just finished a 5 day rotation on Wednesday and the Riddler that I was flying with ‘casually mentioned’ that his alma mater was involved in this Moon landing…and of course, I then ‘casually mentioned’ that I have 4 Omega Speedmasters…

They look exactly like every riddle grad I’ve ever met

I’m just glad there are still kids excited about going to space, flying airplanes and science and shit.
