Re: [amsat-bb] Whats the payload to fuel ratio for moon landing ?

["Robert Oler" <cvn65vf94@xxxxxxx>]

I view several landers on internet and I noticed that all landers use 
soft-landings on their feet, with about 2m per second final speed. <<

Hello

Not all are soft landers...the really early Rangers were "hard landers"... 
Yeah probably none of them worked...history will one reveal wheather or not 
Ranger 4's balsa lander did...but as a fine point only...and a note to 
history.
