Re: Morpheus crashed

Project Morpheus is a lunar lander that uses LOX/Liquid Methane. Today it suffered a catastrophic failure, which ended up with some cool pictures and videos coming out of it.

Early indications say:

Michael Baine, the project Chief Engineer posted on FB-
"Early indications show that the Primary Inertial Measurement Unit
died 600 ms into ascent."

Re: Morpheus crashed

Seriously DYT?

There's no air on the Moon so it won't burn.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.

Re: Morpheus crashed

I actually worked on a version of the engines they are using. It was on TV on the big ten network! If you ever see the Purdue special on there, I worked on that as part of a class.
