(Worthy Satire) – In a bold attempt to combine space exploration with the art of emotional expression, Japan’s iSpace spacecraft successfully crash-landed on the Moon — then promptly “shared” the impact crater with Earth as a symbol of shared disappointment.
“We didn’t fail the mission,” said iSpace’s PR director, while gently sobbing into a cup of matcha. “We created a lunar landmark that represents the ups and downs of life, mostly downs.”
The spacecraft, originally tasked with delivering a payload to the Moon, instead delivered a powerful message: gravity still works. The resulting crater, now affectionately dubbed “Mount Oopsie,” has been added to Google Lunar Maps and will soon host virtual tours sponsored by SpaceX and Hello Kitty.
NASA offered support, saying, “At least it made it to the Moon. That’s more than we can say for your package from Amazon.”
Meanwhile, social media lit up with hashtags like #CrashGoals and #LunarFaceplant. Earth’s own crater—the emotional one in every Japanese taxpayer’s soul—continues to deepen.
A follow-up mission is reportedly in development. Working title: “iSpace 2: We Meant to Do That.”
