Why Did The Latest Lunar Lander Fall Over, Why Is Landing On The Moon Harder Than We Thought

( Ed: moon landings are hard 
good luck Spacex HLS

Blue Ghost: The Commercial Moon Lander Achieves Lunar Soft Landing
On 2 March 2025, Blue Ghost, the moon lander built by the private company Firefly Aerospace touched down safely on lunar surface near a volcanic...........

From the #LPSC 'NASA Night' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns4sVQ81DiI a list of the next #CLPS missions: NASA will have more Stereo Cameras for Lunar Plume-Surface Studies (SCALPSS) on #BlueOrigin's HLS test lander. They also reported superb results from #BlueGhost with 6 of the NASA experiments already completed and the remainder being done once the hot noon is over. Not much came out of #Athena, obviously, and they're still trying to make contact with the Lunar Trailblazer - no indication of the hope level ...

I can't remember how many times I've expressed concern about the tall, top heavy @Int_Machines design. But nothing illustrates how significant this factor is than a comparison between the @Firefly_Space & Athena landers.

(Ed : Squat lander designs such as #blueghost, Apollo #LM and more relevant Surveyor.All had lower center of gravity henceforth less likely to tip over on suspicious terrain)
Another one bites the (Moon)dust!
This is Intuitive Machines' #IM2 lander that once again toppled over after trying to land on Mons Mouton near the lunar south pole.
The picture had lots of detail hidden in the shadows which I brought out in processing.

Tune into the landing broadcast for IM-2, our second mission to the surface of the Moon.

(Ed: Lunar landing playback appears to have landed on its side again)
Soooo... 
#Ariane6 is comfy in #space! 
Let's see if second ignition of upper stage will work out. 
And at the same time, pull up another window and watch the #landing of #IntuitiveMachine's #IM2 on the #Moon in about 45 minutes!

NASA’s CLPS program is reshaping lunar exploration. Instead of building everything in-house, NASA now contracts private companies—like Firefly, Intuitive Machines, and Astrobotic—to handle lunar deliveries.

Wow! What a great way to make a selfie! #Firefly's #BlueGhost really did it! 
You can tell it's good when it looks fake! Iconic! #space #SpaceFlight #Weltraum #Raumfahrt #NASA #CLPS #Moon #Earth
Přistání sondy #Blueghost je prvním úspěšným přistáním komerční firmy na Měsíci a současně prvním úspěšným projektem #NASA v rámci #CLPS. #moon
