editShouldn't the interesting circumstances of the immediate unattenuated signal loss be mention. When something like that explodes the electrical systems try to operate as they are torn apart, and engineers can "watch" the explosion on the instrumentation readouts as the signals are attenuated and circuits are torn apart. Surveyor 4 just fell out of existence. It was something other than an explosion. 67.78.55.240 18:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC) Z
Did it really crash?
editI'm not into this stuff usually, but I'm just reading a book about the Apollo missions and there it says that it could never be established whether Surveyor 4 had actually crashed or just gone silent. Then this book seems to be written in the perspective of the time of the mission (1969), but even if it could since be established that Surveyor 4 crashed indeed, shouldn't the article say, that its fate was unknown for a (long) time?
