Could you build this?
No Building lunar landers involves aerospace engineering, rocket propulsion, orbital mechanics, and hardware fabrication that software vibe coding cannot accomplish.
What it would actually take: Developing lunar landers requires deep expertise in aerospace structural engineering, throttling rocket engines, radiation-hardened avionics, and real-time guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) algorithms. It also demands specialized cleanroom manufacturing facilities, environmental testing chambers, and regulatory compliance through the FAA, FCC, and international space treaties.
