Title: Let's all of us laugh at Japan's failure haha

Yeah, no.

Space is extremely unforgiving. The fact that the vessel is intact is a great success.

[-] Chaser@sopuli.xyz 18 points 8 months ago

They landed in the 100 square meter target area, free of obstructions, autonomously, and released experimental rovers. It IS a success. Why doesnt the great techspot.com land a craft on the moon if it's so fucking easy?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 11 points 8 months ago

ha, landed upside down but was still able to release spherical rovers that could even then take a picture of it.. thats so cool!

[-] Nyfure@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

afaik it flipped over at landing and the rovers where released about 5m above ground.
Honestly pretty awesome it could automatically compensate against loosing almost 50% of thrust, stay perfectly on trajectory and land successfully.
The Chinese lander, i think last year, didnt have compensation-features built-in and crashed.

OK. You can downvote this as many times as you want to. You can kiss my happy butt goodbye. Enjoy your next story about Musk's bowel movement.

[-] CurbsTickle@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

People don't like the article (and it's click bait headline). Not the subject itself, and not you.

Take a breath.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I'll not take the time to submit tech news to people that bury that news because they read something into a headline I didn't create. I don't need a breath. I need to stay away from such people. We'll both be better off.

[-] CurbsTickle@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

I don't know what you're missing here - the headline, which you didn't create, is misleading. People don't like misleading headlines because it's giving the wrong impression of a successful mission.

You are taking this personally.

Yes, you do need to take a breath. Enjoy your day.

[-] WHYAREWEALLCAPS@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

I'll tell you what they're missing - maturity. They're acting like a spoiled child.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Interesting. So is taking a beating and not complaining a sign of maturity to you?

[-] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Taking a beating? Bro its made up internet points the fuck? Lol

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It's a question you refused to answer. I suspect your idea of mature is to never speak out, which is not mature but subservient

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

You posted an article you didn't write, people reacted to the article (mainly its title), you took people's reactions as a personal attack while simultaneously claiming no responsibility for what people are actually reacting to.

Grow the fuck up.

This 'beating' you're refering to; ie the continued downvotes, is because you continue to act like a god damn child.

To answer your question directly:

Yes, complaining about people reacting to someone else's content you've posted as if they are personally attacking you is incredibly immature.

So is continuing to tantrum about it once your poor behaviour has been explained to you repeatedly.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

The very first thing I said in this screed is "downvote it all you want". Is there something there that you don't understand? That was it until I was attacked as I am now. However, your way was to do it was indirectly. You wouldn't do it directly to me. Only now do you engage. Now you seek to minimize me to suit your needs. You must be a real treat to live with, but deep down you're a coward.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Lmao.

Shovels for sale! Get your shovels here! Now 25% off!

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Denial is your first refuge

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

There are a ton of much better articles you could've posted instead of techspot. For example, Japan’s ‘moon sniper’ probe made incredibly accurate landing, but is now upside down. Plus, it was only upside-down because it rolled off a dune.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

There are a ton of much better articles

Fine. You post them. Last I see a contribution from you to this sub was 2 months ago. Something about a Wikipedia mod.

[-] catarina@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago

It would be beneficial for all here if you could learn to not take things so personally, and take in some fair criticism about this particular post. But please stick around, the topic of the article is definitely interesting, thanks for that!

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

It's already been posted. That would be a repost. Not every piece of ultrainteresting news I find concerns technology. And no, my last contribution was about stackoverflow proposing to allow some duplicates, which you should definitely read.

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 months ago

Vote manipulation, especially whining about downvotes, will get you downvotes. (Should get you banned outright.)

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Oh, I stopped subscribing to this little club about an hour ago. Have fun playing with yourself.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 7 points 8 months ago

Lmao, you could de-ice the world's roads with all that salt.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Don't use salt. It's bad for the heart. I do like his attitude, though. Finding a way to blame and penalize me is just the kind of nonsense that justified leaving this sub.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Just leave then if you are really that bothered. You are taking fake internet points way too seriously. It does not seem to be working out too well for your mental health there.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

If you read what I wrote, you would know that I already left the sub. But you're not interested in what I already expressed just as you're not interested in my mental health. All you're really interested in is kicking someone when they're down. Surprise, MFer, it's not me.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

No not interested in kicking you while your down. You are still replying to every comment on this post, so have you really left the sub? I seriously hope you have a better day and learn to not take everything so personally.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Bwhahaha, I told you I wasn't down. You're not interested because you can't do it.

I submitted this article so of course get all updates.

Sorry your diminishing didn't work. Maybe next time.

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

And I upvoted the article because I thought it was an interesting read. I think you are confused on the definition of diminish there. Sorry you have the mentality of a 12 year old, life's gonna be rough. Best of luck.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I really don't care what you do. Probably share that with most people you know.

[-] BlueBockser@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

I guess the snarky headline might've been a bit too much for some people

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

It's the headline. I didn't change it.

[-] AtmaJnana@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Thank you for posting. My issue is with the use of scare quotes in the title. It's a terrible title and because of it, I won't give them my click. Any organization that would use that title is only doing yellow journalism (or is so bad at writing that they dont see how it reads.)

Maybe edit out the quotation marks in the title.

[-] PlantJam@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

It's definitely the headline. The article is perfect for the community, though.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 0 points 8 months ago

Lol why is this getting down voted?

[-] shakcked@lemm.ee 23 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's a terrible headline that completely downplays a successful mission. Instead of focusing on the fact that they achieved a landing accuracy of 55m where previous missions measured in kilometres they went for a cheap joke. This is in spite of having a thruster fail that resulted in the lander tipping over but still able to deploy is rover. The same article from a better website would have probably faired better.

[-] TheLight@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

It's also worth noting it was always supposed to land with the solar panels on its side, the issue is that they ended up pointing west (in the shade, not producing power) instead of to the east (towards the sun).

The fact that it still handled the asymmetrical thrust after the nozzle broke off one of its two engines to make it down in one piece, and only the orientation happened to be wrong, is still a great achievement.

If the hardware survives the chill (heaters not running from lack of power) it might still resume its mission when the sun changes position in the sky and the panels start getting light.

[-] ryan213@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

Oh, OK. I thought people didn't like that it's an actual tech post. Yeah, article title could've been better.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 0 points 8 months ago

The people have spoken and apparently they prefer Elon Musk news to actual tech news.

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago

It's not because it's not Elon Musk. It's because the headline horribly misrepresents the situation.

[-] BobGnarley@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Lol "I don't like this man that influences technology so I don't want to see it in a technology sub, and no one else should either!!" I see this alllll the time on here and its cringe as fuck. I don't like the Chinese government either but I'm not going to whine and cover my ears and eyes everytime they do something technology related and beg everyone to just ignore anything the do to affect said technology. Its so childish and stupid.
