TL;DR Summary

Japan is making its third attempt to land on the moon, with optimism surrounding its latest mission. The country's previous failures were attributed to different issues, but experts believe Japan's strong space science program gives it a good chance of success. The mission includes a lightweight lander that aims to land with unprecedented accuracy of 100 meters, compared to the usual range of a couple of kilometers. Japan's success could have broader implications for space exploration, as it races ahead in the Asian space race and cooperates with the US to counter China's influence.
