At least it didn’t explode on liftoff. If it makes it to the Moon and gets into orbit it can be retrieved by some future mission’s robot................

That speaks to ULA and Blue Origin. Looks like at least we may have a second “large” launch vehicle available.

Not to throw any disrespect at Rocket Lab. Electron is a nice launch vehicle, just definitely in the “small” category.

Space is hard. Even the Russians had a failure on a lunar mission just a few months ago.
