CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A U.S. company’s lunar lander will soon burn up in Earth’s atmosphere after a failed moonshot.
Astrobotic Technology said its lander is now headed back toward Earth from the vicinity of the moon. Company officials expect the mission to end Thursday. Astrobotic is working with NASA to track the lander's path and said it should pose no safety risk during its fiery reentry.
The lander, named Peregrine, rocketed from Cape Canaveral last Monday. It quickly developed a fuel leak that forced Astrobotic to abandon its attempt to make the first U.S. lunar landing in more than 50 years. The company suspects a stuck valve caused a tank to rupture.

No, but maybe more Kubrick
Good news is more than 40% of NASA scientists are women. That includes the first NASA transgender Program Director.
A stuck valve caused by...racism!
It really is going to burn up, right?
Remember when we did the Moonshot?
C’mon! C’mon!
Going into space is hard and very few people have the intellect to design aerospace components. And even then, they still sometimes fail.
Despite Hollywood and NASA propaganda that “anyone can do it.”
Did this one have the human ashes in it for the moon?
I never had cause to question if we really landed on the moon until I realized the government lies about everything.
I hope so!
Can’t we send a couple of astronaut gals up there to fix it?
Yes.
Probably brought to us by the same crew that engineered the Titan submersible
I actually trust them on that one.
But there’s certainly a lot of people since the Lying Kenyan and Potato Joe...
Yes
“NASA paid more than $100 million to fly experiments on the Peregrine lander. It’s part of the space agency’s bid to commercialize lunar deliveries by private businesses while the government works to get astronauts back to the moon.
The lander also carried a rover from Carnegie Mellon University and other privately sponsored research, as well as the ashes and DNA from about 70 people, including “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke”

Sorry....our Supreme Court newbie can’t define what a woman is.
So, you see, they’d also be unable to fulfill your request.
Very complicated, you know.
Im still holding on to believing the moon landings but after that whopper about how “they attacked us because they hate us for our freedom”, I wont be fooled again.
Oops!!
“as well as the ashes and DNA from about 70 people, including “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry”
So now he will be Lost in Space?
I hear ya.
When George W Bush said Z was the Winston Churchill of our time.......well it was about what I expect from him these days.
