Due to a power issue, it looks like the lander may now no longer have sufficient fuel to make a controlled landing on the moon. This was the lander that was set to carry human remains to the moon despite objections from the Navajo nation. Hopefully, this discourages any future attempts at such a stunt, since instead of a permanent mausoleum your ashes may instead be stranded in orbit or scattered amongst the moon dust if the thing crashes.

'the moon belongs to everyone (but not rich people)' is shitty reasoning

it’s called compensating for inequality of opportunity dumbass

edit:

and i think that '[group] think its bad to put bodies on the moon' [...] is shitty reasoning

it's called compensating for inequality of political power dumbass. We haven't been listening to "[group]" for literally centuries. We have to at least make an attempt to catch up before treating them the same as all the people we already listened to. If it was some random christian denomination you might have a point, but these are people we've been killing en masse for fucking ages. The least we can do is not LITERALLY throw shit at the things important to them.
