In reply to Armadillo Wins Lunar Lander Challenge Level 1, Crashes On 2
For some reason it seems like it would be easier to achieve the hovering and landing on the moon due to it's lower gravity. The slower acceleration would require slower reaction times and therefore you'd have more processing time before making corrections.

But I guess they figure if you can do it on Earth, you'll be able to on the moon.

Cool stuff.
