Astrobotic Technology?

Why was a company that has never demonstrated success in space missions given such a complex role in our moonshot? Why not a more proven company like Lockheed Martin or SpaceX?

Looking at the company’s C-suite and group photos, they don’t seem overly obsessed with DEI, and diversity isn’t even mentioned in their “about us”.

I wonder if this opens them up to litigation by family members of the human remains on board.

Because they built the spacecraft and paid ULA to launch it.
