Astrobotic said its Peregrine spacecraft had a propulsion anomaly hours after launch Jan. 8, making it unlikely that it will be able to land on the moon.
I absolutely agree, but I am genuinely saying that they have proof of having anything. They haven’t lost the Library of Alexandria of their research. Research institutes have attested to everything being there. Plus the science is very well understood, and even if they wanted to go to the moon, they wouldn’t just build a copy paste of the Saturn 5.
Yeah that’s fair, the general knowledge is obviously still there. I’m just saying that there would be a lot of work to replicate the effort. Also agree that a new moon program would be based on the tech currently available. So, it is kind of a moot point as you wouldn’t want to build an exact copy of a Saturn 5 today.
