The NASA-backed Peregrine One moon lander is now hurtling back towards Earth after last week failing on its historic journey.
Astrobotic, which had been hoping to hoping to land the first American-made spacecraft on the Moon in more than 50 years, predicts its spacecraft will likely burn up in the atmosphere in the next few days, the BBC reports.
Experts had been working with NASA and other space companies to find the most safe and responsible way of ending Peregrine’s mission.

If it exceeded escape velocity before the engine failed then it won’t “fall to Earth”. It’ll just orbit. Nice clickbait try though. I doubt there’s a single journalist who understands orbital mechanics.
In 1969 we got the best CGI that was available at the time. We were all a bunch of dummies and believed it. 😏
It was sabotage when they found out the lunar lander was going to drop human remains on the moon surface.
I shot an arrow into the sky .....
Double toasted?
Human ashes, pet hair among items headed to Moon on Monday launch

Astrobotic Technology, a private company designed the lander. NASA only provided the launch vehicle (which worked as advertised) .
The reporting, as usual, was sensationally abysimal.
The last time the U.S. launched a moon-landing mission was in December 1972.It should be easier now...

Hey!!! See post 6.
“We were all a bunch of dummies and believed it.” Please visit the Columbia Space Center in Downey, CA, for a few hours or read Gray’s Angle of Attack and learn about the thirty companies and four hundred thousand skilled employees in every state who successfully built six Mercury flights, twelve Gemini flights and seventeen Apollo flights.
The Biden Curse
All the good producers and directors are dead—with all the affirmative action in Hollywood these days they couldn’t even produce a convincing fake.
;-)
The skilled employees all built components.
They have no clue how they were actually used.
They believed what they were told—just like everybody else did back then when we were naive.
Don't view it while eating or drinking anything. Odds are you will spew or choke on the opening paragraph, I kid you not.
Great, p*ssy hats and BLM on the moon. Now we’re spreading leftist insanity into space.
Awright everybody, what are your requests for where/who this thing lands?
I’ve a long bloody list.
Well, give the NASA team a break. It’s difficult to succeed when you spend all day every day staring at your genitals, trying figure out what “gender” you are.
It should be easier now...
Kind of like elections. We knew by Election Night 40 years ago, with paper ballots and a very manual process.
Now, with lightning-fast technology, it takes days or weeks to know who "won."

I’m sorry, but you hand the Left on a silver platter the ammunition to attack us as dumb, backward hicks when you spout utter nonsense like “We didn’t land on the moon.” And frankly, in cases like this I would agree with them.
It’s tiresome to have to constantly rebut nutter theories about the moon landings being faked, or the Earth being flat, or a hundred others. Good grief people, how is that any better than the insane Leftists believing that a man can become a woman? STOP already.
