Russia’s moon probe crashed last month due to a software error, making it the fourth moon probe in five years to fail due to a software error, in case you were wondering how software is going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ_a4NCIImk

It’s always impressive to me how a very simple thing can mess up an incredibly complex thing.

Sort of reminds me of the Schiaparelli probe.

It crashed due to an overflow of the IMU measurements and thinking it was -1 m in altitude 🤦🏻‍♂️.
