Amusing anecdote: US media describes the Odyssey lander as being the size of a phone booth. UK media describes it as being the size of a TARDIS. laugh

Come to think of it, younger types today will probably have a greater grasp of the exterior size of the latter than the former.

Unfortunately it landed on it's side. What would Super Man/Dr, Who do?

Looks like it's over for this one, alas. Not enough solar panels turned the right way to keep it powered.

Landing on the moon is HARD.

Looks like one of the legs collapsed causing it to topple.

In the meantime, Space-X is getting ready for a third flight test launch of Starship. Hopefully without the ending ka-BOOM.
