Japanese startup launches historic moon mission

The company ispace designed its craft to use minimal fuel to save money and leave more room for cargo. So it's taking a slow, low-energy path to the moon, flying 1 million miles from Earth before looping back and intersecting with the moon by the end of April.took five days to reach the moon last month. The lunar flyby mission ends Sunday with a Pacific splashdown.

In addition, the lander is carrying an orange-sized sphere from the Japanese Space Agency that will transform into a wheeled robot on the moon. Also flying: a solid state battery from a Japanese-based spark plug company; an Ottawa, Ontario, company's flight computer with artificial intelligence for identifying geologic features seen by the UAE rover; and 360-degree cameras from a Toronto-area company.

Everybody wants a piece of that cheese.

All these rockets to space, as pa would say, 'play hell' with the weather. The whole universe is connected by radii as Hawking said, and is the stabilizer of chaos.

GO for Japan.
