How can the sentences "Once ejected, the EagleCam semi-land on the lunar surface somewhere near the lander at 10 m/s (33 ft/s). From the surface the EagleCam attempted to capture the first third-person images of a lunar landing, but images are yet to arrive.", describing the recent landing, have a citation dating back to the beginning of the month?? 47.64.164.88 (talk) 18:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As a student of ERAU (though not on the EagleCam team), I will refrain from editing this article, though I will add a failed verification tag to the sentence in question. Upon reviewing the edit history, I see that the source was added on February 15 to cite the sentence "From the surface the EagleCam will attempt to capture the first third-person images of a lunar landing." The sentence has since been edited after the landing, but no new source has been provided. - ZLEAT\C19:03, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The only thing potentially citeable here is the COSPAR ID, which isn't even right since that's the tentative one given to IM-1 as a whole. It probably belongs as an external link for tradition.
Also, on a few of the university / news pages they mention that Steve Altemus, CEO of Intuitive Machines, talked at the school and "challenged" the students of the lab to design a CubeSat to take a "space selfie" of the IM-1 lander, which would later become EagleCam. I believe [this] is the only public talk Altemus gave to the public at ERAU, and it was at the right time, but through skimming the video I couldn't find any mention of him "challenging" the student body, so he might've just challenged the lab privately. The video needs a more thorough watching though to figure that out. SpacePod9 (talk) 03:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
