250 miles? The mission official website of Intuitive Machines says 250 meters. From https://www.intuitivemachines.com/im-2

> HOUSTON, TX – March 7, 2025 – Intuitive Machines, Inc. (Nasdaq: LUNR, LUNRW) (“Intuitive Machines”) (“Company”), a leading space exploration, infrastructure, and services company, has announced the IM-2 mission lunar lander, Athena, landed 250 meters from its intended landing site in the Mons Mouton region of the lunar south pole, inside of a crater.

It's also somewhat funny that this mission update is written in the style of a press releases, mentioning that stock ticker and an obligatory paragraph about forward-looking statements, whereas others are just a normal update.



There's a long history of typos behind the paper's nickname Grauniad


And an interesting history too. The paper used to be printed in Manchester. The London papers made errors too, but corrected them in their second edition. There was no second edition of the Guardian due to the time it took to get it to London


Placing movable type and perfecting layouts could be quite a cathartic and engrossing game...


I have honestly never heard of movable type on the web or is it all movable, rather than carthartic it's confusing.



250 miles would be over 13 degrees around the moon’s circumference.


And yet the ranks of proofreaders and editors never blinked.
