Day 1 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge'08

[Ondelendo]

I am very happy to see the vidoe Watch the highlights where Team TrueZer0 competes with Armadillo Aerospace for Level 1 of the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge from you, hopefully the others also are happy for You

[bebeheuy]

I Love The Video Watch the highlights where Team TrueZer0 competes with Armadillo Aerospace for Level 1 of the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge It Can Increase My Knowledge

[willamricard]

Nice Video Watch the highlights where Team TrueZer0 competes with Armadillo Aerospace for Level 1 of the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[imegatrone]

I Really Like The Video Day 1 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge From Your

[bundawartini]

Your Video Day 1 Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge'08 Is Very Useful Sharing

[GustavCalder]

Ha-ha, back to the Moon? :D You gotta kidding me.

[kousoulides]

I thought we 've already landed to the moon, why we need the new technology for?

[davepamn]

Will the final system autonomously land through machine learning algorithms?

The lunar landing is the most complex feat attempted by man or machine.

[Leobons]

They look like a double Sputnik

[Demock]

throw some shoulder straps and a belt on there and you've got yourself a hell of a jetpack

[ViitaGer]

moon has no athmosphere btw

so these tests are pointless

[tnuocca7]

If it doesnt work at world how it will work in moon?

[shnopsnub]

You clearly don't understand the physics behind rocket propulsion

[eltotoX]

John Carmack you are a god among men!

[buddo1999]

The principle is all wrong! Wasting time on how to balalnce something on a stick.. Sorry guys,.. I could make a very sucessful unit myself but no time or money here..

[aironeous]

Holy shit guys!!!! How did you get that thing to not go into another vector while it was landing?

HFS you should be right there on the next Mars lander because the biggest barrier to survivability is landing and JPL is not exactly 100% success rate.

[fazholio]

Can you imagine, if they cant get it right these days, they never went anywhere in the first place...

[Gromitdog1]

and supposedly the soviets sent an unmanned probe to the moon and it returned samples? not a fucking chance after watching this.

[numb1010]

why?

[Kingmaconha]

I would love to work for Northrop Grumman

[krayzgerman]

okay cool, so when do we see the iron man suit on the market?

[speedend2003]

hoho~~amazing~i love these guys.

[Wcoltd]

It's amazing how stable that armadillo lander is, it must have a gyroscope.

[malkemusatube]

Yes, that would be my guess too. Probably the sphere on top is the gyro...

[rocketsauce08]

looks good

[PhiKris]

Carmack is one of the biggest technology genius of our generation.

[inqzwuqggrwur]

I've seen Carmack's code; good but not a genious... just someone who got lucky, made some money is now playing. For some examples of real technology genious look up Burt Rutan or Paul MacCready.

[Wcoltd]

Wozniack

[martoneperpall]

They already have the Science to do that.

[Gromitdog1]

yeah, one would think they could just ask the soviets how they managed to send unmanned probes to the moon and have some safely return....that is unless it was another hoax

[martoneperpall]

After 40 Years, we're Starting Over Again?

[GamersGroup]

Well if we see science fiction as all the cool stuff in 2001 and star trek on one side and all the stuff that falls to bits in things like Red Dwarf. Well, these guys are the red dwarf end of science fact. The skodas and trabants of space travel, if you will :)

[miketwo345]

Awesome. Simply awesome.

[arielwollinger]

can the armadillo run doom?

[hil390]

Guaranteed this wont be the only one competing next year! Congrats though to the Armadillo team.

[eyeverve]

armadillo, rock solid! congrats on the prize

[sarkozyrunway]

MADAME SARKOZY

[johanngr]

lidixmang, it's an easy way to make a million dollars! Come on, let's see you do it!

[lidixmang]

A million dollar prize for this?

[laboo69]

Nice going, John and crew! Boy that last flight was so sweet to watch. Hung there so rock steady, like it was nailed to the sky.

[MrFireAss]

yeah it did, im psyched on them attemping lvl 2 again, since the #1st ever attempt was a "hiccup"

[piercemk]

cool stuff!

[SarumanTheChef]

This coverage is exactly what I was looking for; this is completely awesome. There should be an X Prize TV series ;)
