Seems rather silly to make a complex machine, send it on a trip of a hundred million miles, just for it to get stuck digging a hole for months.

Remember that blurry first-ever photo of a black hole? Turns out snaps like that can tell us a lot about these matter-gobbling voids

Thatās the inevitable risk inherent in building a machine to do something weāve never tried before in an environment weāre only passingly familiar with because itās impossible for us to go there and iterate quickly in person.

Off route, recalculating.
But on the lunar surface, especially at the poles, Earth would be low in the horizon, allowing crater rims to block these signals. A small relay satellite could bridge that gap, they say.
I donāt see how that part would work. Measuring the phase differences of direct radio signals at the receiver location is the whole point.
