"NASA's Historic Moon Mission Launches with Human Remains Aboard ULA's Vulcan Rocket"

A new era of lunar exploration has begun as the Vulcan Centaur rocket successfully launched the Peregrine lander, marking the first US moon landing mission since 1972. Developed by Astrobotic Technology under a contract with NASA, the lander is carrying 20 payloads, including five NASA science instruments and human remains from commercial space burial companies. The mission aims to conduct various experiments on the moon's surface, with the lander expected to operate for up to 10 days before succumbing to darkness. Additionally, the launch of ULA's Vulcan Centaur rocket signifies a potential game-changer for the launch industry, with the rocket aiming to replace ULA's Atlas and Delta rockets and already having about 70 missions lined up.
