    The lasers, though, did not work, and engineers determined that a physical switch — a safety measure on the ground because the lasers are not eye-safe — was not flipped before launch.

    This kind of honesty makes me go a big rubbery one.

      Yeah, it’s a shame that we won’t get a video of the landing, but it sounds like not all is lost:

      Altemus said EagleCam is mounted on a side panel and should be able to eject later in the mission, which may last 9 to 10 days on the surface, providing images of the lander.

      Sounds like EagleCam is still in a deployable position.
