I only heard about the Japanese effort a couple of days ago. I wondered what had happened. So, I just looked it up. Alas, it appears that the landing failed at the very last moment.

Condolences to the Japanese team involved. But sometimes even failures lead to successes.

Agreed. Its better to learn these mistakes now while they are unmanned.

Private industry is the future of space exploration. The days of bloated government agencies hegemony of space is thankfully coming to an end.
