Set to land at 4:30 (central time) this afternoon.
the landing time has been changed to 3:24 central time.
15:24 CST
Flight controllers commanded a lunar correction maneuver to raise Odysseus' orbit overnight and updated the anticipated landing time to 1524 CST.
We expect the landing stream to start on this IM-1 web page and NASA TV at 1400 CST. The content on both streams is identical.

Bummer about the unshielded interstellar radiation

its a real shame that Odie doesn't have any kind of a robot or drone that could drive over to the Japan Moon lander and push it over so that it could work.

Well, fuck space.
Odysseus can't offer live footage of its landing attempt. The spacecraft isn't equipped with a video recorder capable of sharing its journey.
But Intuitive Machines will be sharing computer-generated graphics that are based on data delivered directly from the robotic explorer. So while it's not a live look, what appears on the livestream should be a fairly close representation of what the spacecraft is currently doing in lunar orbit.
That is, until about 10 minutes before landing.
After that, we won't be seeing live data as Odysseus begins its perilous final descent. But, if all goes well, there should be only about a 15-second delay before flight controllers confirm whether the spacecraft made it to the surface safely, according to Intuitive Machines.

Those MF-ers. Now they have decided to make one more lap around the moon before landing. Landing is now pushed to 5:24 Central time.

Well, maybe they are trying to communicate with it over the AT&T network.

In other words animation. Exactly what I told you several times yesterday. Like I said, several reasons nobody has ever carried equipment to do that.

you are forgetting about the Eagle Cam.
"Odie also houses a camera system called EagleCam. The device is set to pop off of the lunar lander as it approaches the surface and captures images of the vehicle's descent."

Oooh, Eagle Cam. Last time Man was on the Moon was 52 years ago. They traveled like 20 miles in a dune buggy to collect rock samples in craters. Let that sink in. This is just "College kids" Yawn city

So you've gone from "space radiation" to "it has no cameras" to "okay, it has cameras, but they were made by college kids".

If I remember correctly the first moon missions used Hasselblad film cameras.

fuck, this looks about the same as that Japanese landing. Something may have gone wrong.

I will give this team props They've done tons more to get something landed on the Moon than Canada ever did. Canadians are used to sucking at the NASA funding tit.

okay, maybe its all fine. they just had trouble making radio contact. seems they have it now.
