Peter<p>Athena fell over. Another one.</p><p>The one that landed safely did so on a slope with only 3 of its 4 legs on<br> the surface. Why didn't it fall over? Because it's about 2 times wider than it is tall.

Voracious Reader<p>Other companies said I was daft to land a lander on the moon, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the regolith. So, I built a second one. That feĺl over onto its side. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the regolith, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest Intuitive Machine in Mons Mouton.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IntuitiveMachines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntuitiveMachines</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Athena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Athena</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/lunarlander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lunarlander</span></a></p>
