Japan has become the 5th country to land on the moon. Their lander had issues for several days but is now back on and running.

I wonder when we'll start having a Japanese moon section, a USA one, a Brit one, a French one, Russian one, etc.?

Good job Japan.

Glad to hear it's up and running again. My strange sense of humor (when hearing it landed upside down) had me thinking of kids trying to dig their way to China/Japan years ago... and figured that's how we would have seen things if the digging had been successful... everything upside down. Yeah, I know, I know... get a hobby, Kate.

Congratulations Japan!
I have a special place in my heart for Japan
as I lived there for 3 years

Their engineering is the best so this is no surprise to me.

Congrats Japan. There was talk they wouldn't be able to land it given the problems, so any landing is amazing.

Will they now be known as The Land of the Rising Moon?

If I was Buzz Aldrin, I would have tackled Neil Armstrong on that descending ladder...then jumped to the surface of the Moon first!

Some amateur radio operators are decoding telemetry on CW. It takes a sizable dish since it’s only one watt output.
