Japans rocket crashed

[Robert W]

Japan's rocket was hopeful to land safely. But it crashed on the moon and no signals were sent to earth it crashed. Who followed the attempted landing yesterday? We hope of course all such landings work out. Do you believe that in the future this failed rocket will be explored by future manned landings on the Moon?

It obviously crashed. I was perhaps the first here to reach that conclusion yesterday about 30 seconds after it quite transmitting data. This is the second failed attempt to land on the moon by the Japs. Offhand, I think they need to go back to the drawing board.

The rocket didn't crash, it was the lander.

You triggered me to watch it happen in real time.

It was, however to land it used rockets.
