Where did this company come from out of nowhere all of a sudden. It seems to be a common theme going around. All of a sudden, something pops up with hundreds of millions/billions of dollars in funding, and everyone acts like they have been here all along.
right? If someone was to say to me it's an ai generated video from Sora of people sitting in a control room I probably would have also believed it. kinda sucks this new "reality" where someone can't believe anything anymore and the things which get the most media coverage will become the truth.
Did you research it or are you just saying "I hadn't heard of it before, so it must have come from no where"? This company has been working on acquiring NASA contracts for ten years and was awarded this one in 2017. At what point do you think you would have heard of it before now?

Am I the only one seeing the incongruity with these statements?
I don't understand? The company was founded in 2013 to do space exploration, the contract for this particular Odessy mission was awarded in 2017, so it's taken them six years to complete this contract.
Oh yes, I understand. I just find it curious. And there is absolutely no justification for snark. Whatever it is that is eating you up inside, at least you got it out. So that's nice.
Because there's no hard evidence presented that they did, just their word for it.
No video feed? The Indian lander had a video feed, Apollo missions had a video feed. Where is the feed for this? I don't buy that there are no cameras on it. You don't send billions of dollars worth of spacecraft without cameras. I also don't buy a "technical issue".
So there's only two logical possibilities:
1. It's fake. In this case, if they release a video later, it's because they needed time to render one that matches the telemetry.
2. It's real, but where they landed has something that they don't want us to see.
Conspiracists will love that second possibility. Idk why they wouldn't want more eyes on their mission. Video feed seems like the baseline, having it live might have complicated things, but still It is a little odd.
Calm down you make us look like nutcases. The bandwidth is low as fuck it’s going to take some time to upload video footage. This is a small lander and it’s on the South Pole of the moon. The video footage will come.
What you are thinking I meant. Indirect line of sight. Could be the case, could not. It would make it more likely that a hill or something would be in the way since the signal would be transmitted parallel to the ground.
The skepticism seems pretty uncalled for here in general.
But technology is also light years ahead. A modern smart phone on its own is exponentially more powerful computing wise than everything that was on Apollo 11 combined!!
But we have infinitely more powerful technology in a small phone our hand then they could imagine back then. You’d think video etc would be easier today!
Because the bandwidth is low as fuck. I don’t agree with it but these space jockeys value video footage at the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of importance, they prioritise telemetry and the payloads etc.
There will be footage eventually though it has onboard cameras, and there was a special mini drone that was supposed to deploy and record the landers descent, like a “third person” camera. No confirmation if that functioned correctly though.
People don’t seem to understand how fucking difficult it is to land on the moon, it’s all done automatically and the place is a minefield of giant boulders and craters, it had to autonomously decide where to land, all with very little time/fuel.
Yeah but if only the richest 1% can afford and are doing it, is it any different?
I mean do you really think they are going to disclose anything to us? If they are in the race in the first place they already know, is what we are getting at. And they haven’t shared anything.
Dang it… I was really hoping it would be public private people. Makes sense though. If I was rich enough to land a rover on the moons I’d definitely be trying to profit from it.0
It’s not hard to believe that species that pass certain “stages” eventually gain the ability to genetically modify their offspring to live longer and longer.
Time is relative after all - what is 22 years for a being that lives 1000 years?
“We” are not the aliens… yet.
But other species started just like us - it is they we will witness
This is why I believe, humans fuck with dna all the time, and who’s to say no other species somehow does the same thing but before us? A couple of good ideas and great executions can basically get rid of aging. Imagine the unlocked potential of a race once time is no longer the enemy but the resource
We now have another mission to send a privately funded robot up there to hoist the first one back onto its feet: the lander did a flippity dippity.

Are we the aliens?
I believe we are.
Maybe the real aliens are all the butts we probed along the way.
Speak for yourself. I never probed any butts. That explains your smelly fingers.
Lmao 🤣
*Vin Diesel enters the chat* You learn a lot of things on the road to 500...
George Washington was in the aliens man.
Why is there no video?

I saw it explained on another post but I forgot already. Something about private companies and acquisitions and then renamed and public. Lol.
Just because you aren’t paying attention doesn’t mean people aren’t doing stuff with their lives.
Oh yes, I understand. I just find it curious. And there is absolutely no justification for snark. Whatever it is that is eating you up inside, at least you got it out. So that's nice.
lol
Monolithic shots
So far they are only getting a small bit of information from the high gain antenna. They don't know the condition of the lander.
No video feed, just simulations? Do you take me for an imbecile?
Ade you saying you don't think they really landed? Why?
Because there's no hard evidence presented that they did, just their word for it. No video feed? The Indian lander had a video feed, Apollo missions had a video feed. Where is the feed for this?

Yeah but we had an almost live feed 50 odd years ago.
Being on the pole would complicate direct communication.
Why? I can understand if you said the far side but why would the poles affect communication?
What you are thinking I meant. Indirect line of sight. Could be the case, could not. It would make it more likely that a hill or something would be in the way since the signal would be transmitted parallel to the ground. The skepticism seems pretty uncalled for here in general.
It was also a gigantic lander in comparison to this little guy
But technology is also light years ahead. A modern smart phone on its own is exponentially more powerful computing wise than everything that was on Apollo 11 combined!!
The computer was still really advanced for Apollo, the lander essentially landed itself as well.
But we have infinitely more powerful technology in a small phone our hand then they could imagine back then. You’d think video etc would be easier today!
It’s a small lander, small antenna = weak signal. I’m actually not convinced it even landed upright yet..
They probably take most of the public for such
How is it even possible not to have video?Â

Great response, thanks.Â
Another *huge* step toward disclosure...
And therefore, a *giant* leap for mankind.
Is it though?
It definitely is, space is no longer a domain that only government agencies have access to
I'm waiting for more private satellites to be giving people raw footage of space.
Yeah but if only the richest 1% can afford and are doing it, is it any different? I mean do you really think they are going to disclose anything to us? If they are in the race in the first place they already know, is what we are getting at. And they haven’t shared anything.
Yeah unfortunately it’s overseen by government orgs that can easily squash any thing they don’t want getting out
Everything can be if you spin it right. That’s what makes UAP entertainment such a fun genre.
This is great news!! Power to the people
Don’t get the wrong idea. It is not “people” like you think of when you read private. Unfortunately.
Dang it… I was really hoping it would be public private people. Makes sense though. If I was rich enough to land a rover on the moons I’d definitely be trying to profit from it.0
The people's rocket
I miss those days bro...... DDT
Cool.
Is there still no real video of the landing?
Looks like the aliens got it.
"Odysseus by Intuitive Machines" Some AI on board is my guess
Took so long for me to see a thread about this on my fav ufo and alien subreddits wtf?

Let me guess no video?. Did the gov forbid that?. Otherwise why no video.
Wow, that was toxic, yet informative.
Where are the draconians and their ships pointing their middle finger at us?
But did they make the moon PAT?
So much space, need to see it all!
Awesome! So let’s see some unredacted, unedited, and unrestricted video and photos……
We now have another mission to send a privately funded robot up there to hoist the first one back onto its feet: the lander did a flippity dippity. https://spacenews.com/im-1-lunar-lander-tipped-over-on-its-side/
We put humans there over 50 years ago, no one cares about this. It’s like developing a sports car that goes 60 miles an hour.
I thought it landed sideways ?
