What's going on here?
The latest US attempt seems to have tipped over, Russia and Japan have had similar problems...I think China got something to land on the dark side.
Apollo 11 did it 54 years ago, with some last-minute intervention from Armstrong, and using less computing power than your phone today.
As far as I'm concerned, forget automation and the Play Station pilots.... put some real people in there, who are prepared to take the risks and just do it.
Otherwise, if not already, we are just feeding the conspiracy mob.

Doing remote spaceflight is a different 'hard' to human spaceflight. Lots of lunar probes failed before Surveyor finally soft landed

For me, leave our Moon alone! Enough of our junk is floating around our Earth, without dumping more of it on our Moon!
All of the stuff existing; "down here", was designed to be; "down here", in our Gravity, Temperature, and Atmosphere/Pressure!
There's far more fun and excitement exploring to be had; "down here", than all the fancy iter-stellar-travel stuff in the minds of Disney Fanatics!
The reduction in Gravity and Pressure in my travel upstairs to the Chill of my bedroom is more than enough of a worry for me!... ...!
(I spend a lot of time researching the effects of; "Gravity"!)... ....!
My idea of; "Space Travel" is to load up my trusty DVD of; "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone", on my 'Tele, by the fire, wearing my slippers, in the comfort of my Armchair!... ...!

I leave all the; "other stuff" to NASA...and the rest!... ...!
A lot of craziness going on!... ...!

Paul....Somewhere on Saturn's Moon; "Titan"...in my dreams... ... ...!

Darned craters... luckily it seems the scientific package is still pointing back home.
Maybe it will send us some interesting stuff notwithstanding.

Better AI will make these things smarter about where to put down.

Maybe it had a drop o' the cratur?
