Forums - General - John Carmack is awesome!

Had no idea he was heading this up:

 

 

 

 

Yes. The same John Carmack that made Doom made this lunar lander. Total cost of the lander (designed for commercial use) was ~$1m USD. For comparison, the lunar module for the Apollo missions were $11 billion dollars.

"England expects that everyman will do his duty"

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

 

....Did you even watch the video? Really?

It's a lunar lander that is created by John Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace team. It's completed stage 2 of the contest - to get us back to the moon. The cost of the lander was about 1/10000th of what it cost in 1969 dollars to get to the moon.

I suggest you watch the videos to understand what they represent.

Carmack is indeed a cool guy, in his own geeky way.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
