Thanks! I didn't know that the video had been taken down. I have now edited that APOD to put in the new video link.

I think there were some other clips of the crashing into the moon; but don't remember where I saw them. Maybe one could be pasted here? :?

yes it is :D youtube is hard on copyright issues, i.e. material in breach of license can hang there for months/years, but if they spot it, it gets removed really quickly. some rightholders explicitly allow their stuff to be in there, e.g. I have a clip from Dead Snow and it says smth like "we know what you did; so far we don't care, but whenever the company orders us to take it down, we will".

Sorry, could not find old thread, if you can, post link or merge :)

Any way, the video in this APOD is dead :(

Yeah, It is hard to crash one there if you've never sent one there.
AFIAK only about 5 or 6 of 194 nations have had successful lunar missions and onlt Russia and the US have had successful landing and return missions.
LOCO has not yet announced our successes, and we are not officially Canadian, as we accept no taxpayer money.

AFIAK all lunar orbiting satellites are eventually crashed into the surface. The uneven distribution of dense material in the lunar body creates an uneven distribution of gravities effect on orbiting bodies. Maintaining a stable orbit requires constant inconsistant boosting to avoid crashing. So, even if a Canadian spacecraft were orbiting the moon, it too would require either a return to earth or a crashing end on the moon.
Excuses Excuses Excuses.

so, if you crash land on the moon and walk away, that is a pretty good landing and if you crash on the moon and can use the spacecraft again, that is a better landing.

I used to doubt if there was something wrong with my computer, so I couldn't see the flash. :cry:
Now I know the truth. But I believed that I must forgive them... And thanks for their hard working... (the voice lower and lower) :mrgreen:

Uh oh, how do we know it crashed? What a clever way to gain a spy satellite. :twisted: :wink:
