Dashtoons' JA Rover robot probe Satisfaction successfully impacted Planet 日本, King of All Ham Radio Worlds 0400-ish UTC January 4th.
First picture of the landing is reproduced here and the complete story thus far is now playing at Dashtoons.
Conducted by DASHA in coordination with the Pet Propulsion Laboratory, headed by Maximum Mission Director Dr. Dashiell Hammutt, this great leap for hamkind heralds a new communications paradigm in which actual Japanese ham radio lingo will be brought back for study and possible application in ham internet chat and QSL card comments – a bit of wasbi to spice up the same old 599s and BCNUs, or something. Like, when we started firing off all them war surplus V-2s, who knew the upshot would be Tang?
