    It’s news like this and China’s crash that makes me appreciate how good NASA’s manned mission was back in the 60s.

    As an experienced Kerbal Space Program player, I would advise them to just flip it back over with its reaction wheels.

      Or send a rescue mission that ultimately crashes worse and leaves a few kerbals abandoned on the mun.
