British Schoolgirl Sends Time Capsule to Lunar Orbit on Rocket Launch

10-year-old British schoolgirl Elizabeth Norman, known as 'Astro Liz', became the first child to send something to the moon by contributing to a time capsule on the recent US commercial launch to the lunar surface. Her passion for space and a model rocket launch in her backyard caught the attention of space bosses, leading to her payload being included in the Peregrine lunar lander. Despite an unexpected challenge post-launch, the lander is expected to make a hard landing on the moon near the Gruitheisen Domes on February 23. Elizabeth's achievement serves as an inspiration for young space enthusiasts and highlights the accessibility of space exploration for all ages.
