At what point do you just fire your entire "Land on Moon" software team, and hire a couple young Neil Armstrong wanna-be's, who can hand-land your spacecraft remotely? (In spite of the moon-earth-moon signal lag.)


In this domain, Signal lag seems to be an insurmountable problem, when using remote control. 2.7s delay will be hard to mitigate in a dynamic system.

Unless I am misunderstanding something.


They could hire MMO players from areas with crap ping to the servers :)


You’d probably wanna make sure that’s the problem area first.

Considering the altimeter failed, that seems unlikely to be the case.
