  1. Why is it so hard to land on the moon in 2023, but they sent up a dishwasher equipped with a foil umbrella in the sixties no problem. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    1. All hail the 60’s nerds….they didn’t have all that porn on their calculators and could actually think for one hot minute.

  2. What an exciting success! Imagine all the things they learned for their next try! Icing on the cake! The only failure the Japanese have is a failure of a marketing department. Thankfully, SpaceX doesn’t have such a problem.
