"Peregrine Lander Embarks on Historic Commercial Moon Mission with Space Burials"

Astrobotic's Peregrine lander is set to launch on the first commercial mission to the moon, marking a potential historic achievement for the private space industry. Sponsored by NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, the mission aims to soft-land on the moon with scientific instruments and also includes payloads for space burials, which has sparked controversy with the Navajo Nation. The successful launch and landing would signify a significant milestone for commercial space endeavors and innovation, particularly for the city of Pittsburgh, where Astrobotic is based.
