This shit is a million times worse than leaving home and thinking you forgot something.

Tl;DW: Some numbskull left the physical safety lockout on the landing lidar system enabled. The flight team was able to kludge together an improvised lidar feed from one of the secondary payloads and integrate it into the lander's computer system in two hours, but the lander hit with too much lateral velocity and tipped over on its side.
Do they not have checklists for things like this?

You'd think so, but someone apparently failed somewhere.

No. I should have put 'unmanned' in the title.

Yeats of work for nothing. I hope that guy got fired. Millions of dollars lost when we could have instead had free healthcare.

tipped over on its side

And this, my friends, is why you always have a self-righting mechanism on your machine. Did Robot Wars teach us nothing!?
