Astrobotic, which developed the Peregrine lunar lander, reported on January 9 that the spacecraft was losing fuel due to a malfunction of the propulsion system

On January 9, 2024, the American company Astrobotic, which developed the Peregrine lunar lander, reported that the spacecraft was losing fuel due to a malfunction of the propulsion system systems.

The Peregrine device sent the first photo after going into space. Judging by it, earlier fears were confirmed: there is no question of any soft landing on the moon. Before that, the United States landed on a natural satellite of the Earth in 1972. The failure of Peregrine means that the United States will not be able to repeat a soft landing on the Moon until the second half of the 2020s.

Even before the first flight, the Vulcan rocket received 70 firm orders for future launches, more than anyone else in history. A private lander went on board to the Moon, which will hold the first "soft" funerals of people in history there. By the way, Indian tribes that deify the Moon have already sent a protest to NASA demanding that the flight be stopped. What will it actually be? Does SpaceX finally have at least one serious competitor — or is this just an overly ambitious hearse that is taking Boeing and Lockhid Martin, behind Vulcan, to the cemetery?
