I am a reasonably experienced mechanical Engineer - and I can't help but wonder which part of that program Management team designed that tall, thin lander with that narrow and thin landing gear lashup. Has no one ever looked at the Moon's surface and not noticed it's irregularity? Have none of their engineer's learned about Centers of Gravity?

I mean, it got there and it hit its aimpoint, more or less and it didn't smash into the surface - but the simplest part of the mission - to land right side up - failed?

Did DEI strike again?

There you go with that STEM stuff again. What is importan is how they felt about it and that it was diverse and equal and that everybody was included in the plan. I suppose you also think engineering would have made some kind of difference for the Titan too? /s if needed.
