Ouch, Vulcan did its job, but Peregrine can't get stable sun pointing to charge batteries. Hopefully they're able to get back on track. The volley of lunar landers in the past few years has been rough.

You're right but it all points to just how we correct everything and get better at it. Even NASA. And they lost lives in the process, even on the ground. So actually whatever happens now, the loss of lives is not an option.
