It's such a harsh message to propagate, though. A lot of these smaller countries have been really pushing their space programs, and they don't need "LOL, lander upside-down" memes to accent their recent failure any further.
At this rate, Japan may be able to actually land on the moon in a few more years, take some great pictures, and shove Mashable's "space photo of the decade" quote directly up their ass. Where it belongs.
Yep, totally agree
I clicked on this post hoping to see something cool. Didn't realise they were being pricks.
Getting shit into space is impressive, full stop. Ridiculing failure on the frontier is just sad.
