Nice. I can get 5 reliably, but haven't been able to get 4 at all.

Apparently the timing isn't tied to the framerate, so after I ran the game on a faster computer I got 2 seconds quite consistently

Yeah that is a flaw. You could also just make your browser window very short on desktop. I think if it’s shorter than the lander height you may land in 0 seconds?

I made my browser short and then zoomed the window as large as possible

When you can actually land (not crash) in 2 seconds, NASA may have a role for you...

(8s was the best I managed but still a "fender bender").
