"US Moon Mission Faces Technical Hitch with Human Remains Onboard"

TL;DR Summary
The private US Moon mission, involving the Astrobotic company's Peregrine spacecraft, has encountered a technical anomaly that has hindered its ability to point its solar panels at the Sun, jeopardizing its mission to land on the Moon. Engineers are working to resolve the issue, which is believed to be related to a propulsion anomaly. Despite the setback, Nasa remains committed to its private-public partnership with Astrobotic and two other commercial ventures, aiming for six missions to the lunar surface in 2024.
