It’s just a couple of grams. It seems to have been something like a crowd-funding campaign. Support our kickstarter and we’ll send a few grains of your loved one to the moon!

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

Human remains? Maybe that is what aliens are doing when they come to Earth. Dumping remains of aliens who paid a fortune to have their dead bodies dumped on another planet.

Female writers…sheesh…give me Aviation Week & Space Technology.
* roared to life
* soared through space
* ripped away from Earth’s gravity
* its slow journey to the lunar surface
Is she in fourth grade?

Aliens make mistakes, too. They accidentally dropped their first remains on Mars. They were aiming at Earth but got their metric and imperial unit conversions mixed up.

So in 1969 we sent men to the Moon in 3 days. Niw ut takes 6 weeks. What, there’s traffic slowing them down?

Elon just makes this stuff look easy. SpaceX doesn't make lunar landers.
FedGov needs to take lessons.
Built by a first time contractor ... on the cheap.

Yeah, that struck me as well, and I wondered why so long? It's a robot. There's no benefit to sending it quickly, so they choose a "minimum energy" trajectory. When planning orbits, "minimum energy" means "maximum payload".

Okay thanks. Makes sense now.
To: RWGinger
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.

One never knows when the question is Hoffa.
He “disappeared” in 75’, just as the saga of Watergate was unraveling. Jimmy Hoffa stayed in the news for about the next two years,at least back in my city of Detroit, until the death of Elvis “knocked him off” the front pages. That was in the summer of 77’.
