Peregrine spacecraft separated from the rocket and began its slow journey to the lunar surface. If all goes according to plan, the lander could touch down on the moon on February 23.

Peregrine. When it absolutely, positively has to be there in six weeks.

Yeah, that struck me as well, and I wondered why so long?

The first US moon landing mission in decades planned to set a world record for the slowest journey to the moon ever attempted. The mission also attempted to set a new world record to place the most number of grisly remains on the moon in a single mission.

Unfortunately, this high shooting attempting mission was a dismal disaster.
