>>6314874>Rolled 28+10 = 38 < 41 PARTIAL MISSION FAILUREYou are following the ground control tracking. The Moon launch is flawless, perfect. All stage separations completed and vehicle structures operating within thermal and pressure tolerance.
You can see it on the RocketCam, white rings falling back into the darkness, a parting, haloed glimpse of departure from the elegy of the blue arc of the Earth. The uplinks and downlinks are good.
But as your spacecraft approaches translunar injection, there is no response to any of your command sequences. The spacecraft is intact and it transmits. But your commands are met with silent stillness and motionless sorrow.
QM: this is clearly your fault because YOU DID NOT NAME YOUR SPACECRAFT, HOW COULD YOU?? send out an innocent baby spacecraft into the outer darkness with no name or protection from the demons of the cosmic void and possibly space usurers. Actually it is my fault because I forgot to ask, but how could you??
