SpaceX to launch two lunar landers in new mission to the moon

[@mikebrascome2723]

I love that they are called Firefly. Brown coats unite!

[@TheSkyHive]

I feel so fortunate to be alive to see this. As someone born in 78, I missed out on the moon landings. PS....where can I get some of that super dope FIREFLY Aerospace merch?

[@Marcus.22823]

Are you high bro 😂

[@Innerbrave]

Good luck, Firefly.

[@marsbux-tech]

It can't "vacuum up loose lunar rock and dust" as the moon has no atmosphere. No pressure differential.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

It’ll use gusts of gas jostle regolith material and some of it will land in a collector.

[@lindenblack2172]

Glad to see us going back to the moon.

[@alancoker1459]

They did just fine back during apollo. Whats so difficult ?😮

[@gregvandell]

only took em 11 tries

[@NoctilucentStudios]

Uhm, forty five DAYS to get to the moon!?!?!? They taking the scenic route or something?? Apollo got there in 3 days.

[@DOSFS]

A lot of checking in earth and moon orbit before commit to landing not the time to directly go to the moon. Apollo 11 takes like a week for entire mission.

[@bachhongtran]

There were scientist said: the more we knew, the more we put them into considered. Another one said, what we achieved also based on ignorance. I have no idea who said that.

[@Tom-f5q8e]

FH could have send these probes to moon but they would overshoot or crash on. Both have limited fuel to retrograde and will have to use gravity assist for slowing down and eventually land.

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

The slower route uses less propellant. The other lander on this launch is taking the faster one.

[@ryancruz1876]

Slow route is more inexpensive.

[@MichaelSTaylor]

Shiny!

[@esteruser8483]

Tell us the truth we been living on the moon and mars for decades!

[@Wildman-zh8lg]

What??

[@TinyHouseHomestead]

Ya'll need to just go back and read rhe APOLLO mission reports, that will tell you all you need to know to land successfully and return home! Helluuuuuuuu! 😱🤪😝🤣👍👍🇺🇸

[@JustMe-dc6ks]

Apollo landers had human pilots to steer the final moments.

[@zentraf]

I thought they forgot how to get to the moon ?!??!

[@startingtogetalittlebitsha254]

nope, youre just misinformed/misinterpreting

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Been there done that in the 60's...

[@corey407woc]

so hard to land on the moon we did it back in 1969 but cant do it now??? hmmmmmmm makes you think

[@ecapsluv]

yes, so hard even in 1969

[@corey407woc]

@ Stanley Kubrick directed the moon landing

[@ecapsluv]

@@corey407woc and the Earth is flat right?

[@SolarChronicle]

The fact that you think there's was only one moon landings says a lot about your education.

[@7_of_9]

Dogecoin to the moon!!!

[@rensinclair4218]

Don't care. That idiot ruined space, too.

[@gregvandell]

wow, that sounds horrible...hopefully you can enjoy space exploration again some day.
