It's supposed to be a private enterprise. Who owns the spacecraft and runs the gig? CBA to click on links.

I think NASA is funding the private sector to cut some bureaucratic corners and get more bang for the buck.
Who owns the spacecraft is a philosophical question at this point.

How come they could send a manned spacecraft to the moon, even walk on it in 1969, yet 55 years later they only just managed to get an unmanned craft up there?

OK thanks. People who invest in space exploration are real visionaries. Respect! Takes a lot of blind faith to expect to get much from the huge sums they spend.

Exactly!

The shares in the other company shot up 300 fold but I can't see that being sustainable without some video footage.

Private company, they will sell a sanitised version when they're ready.

Are you a moon landing denier?


I am not sure how disputing or not disputing that would affect anyone tbh.

This has got absolutely nothing to do with the moon landings of 60 years ago!

No, I'm not a moon landing denier, but I keep wondering why in 55 years, and all the progress made in space technology and science, we couldn't repeat the 69 moon walk.
Would be nice if someone could explain that to me.
