    Japan’s lander met all of their own internal criteria for being considered a success. And I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s at least partially true for this lander as well. This thing was absurdly inexpensive relative to previous projects, IIRC.

      I would agree that the Japanese lander was a success. But I refuse to enable western hypocrisy that labels the exact same actions by two different stages in opposing viewpoints just for propaganda.

        Sure. Calling the Japanese lander a failure and this one a success would be hypocrisy. I think both should be called successes, to some degree of the word success.
