"Disastrous Lunar Missions: From Crashes to Earth Returns"
The US private moon lander, Peregrine, made by Astrobotic, crashed while carrying human remains and DNA samples of famous personalities, including former Presidents and Hollywood stars, making it the most significant space burial. The crash was due to a propellant leak, causing the craft to fall back to Earth and break up over the Pacific Ocean. Despite the failure, the mission carried out various scientific payloads, including NASA instruments to measure water molecules and radiation on the moon, marking a step towards moon exploration and supporting NASA's plans for future lunar missions.
