What was the point of this mission?
The IM-1 payload landed only 4,200lbs on the moon.
Which means there’s NO WAY that the lander could’ve sustained a crewed mission.
For comparison, when The Eagle landed on the moon in 1969, it weighed in at 33,294.5lbs.
Did they do it as a grift to steal from NASA?
That’s the only reason I can come up with.
