Why is it so hard to pull off a lunar landing?
Couple dozen Ranger and Surveyor probe craters to get the landing technology right.

Yes on Ranger, however the first Surveyor completed a soft landing and returned image data.

Yep - and Rangers were designed as a crash probe that took pictures for as long as possible. Still IIRC some Surveyors did crash later on.
