There’s the short story “A Colder War” by Charles Stross. Among other things, there’s a reference to a real-life nuclear weapon concept called Project Pluto. In the story, it turns out it was built to try and kill Cthulhu.

So… maybe that’s the goal of Sundial? Cthulhu would be a valid target for a weapon that ludicrous.

Otherwise, I agree. “The fuck is wrong with us” is the only valid conclusion.

I don’t know, but there’s only one way to find out.

That’s correct. IM-1 in Feb 2024 and IM-2 in Mar 2025 both ended with tipped-over landers.

Headline is misleading. The Nokia hardware worked fine; it’s the host vehicle from Intuitive Machines that tipped over and ran out of power.

I heard the red ones go faster.
