Astrobotic’s Doomed Moon Lander Will Return to Earth in a Blaze of Glory

Gene Roddenberry’s ashes are set to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere later this week, along with those of half the main cast of his original Star Trek series, as well as a lunar rover, a small flock of robots, and millions of dollars in scientific instruments, all of which were originally supposed to land on the Moon.

Astrobotic’s Peregrine One lander was originally scheduled to be in lunar orbit early next week, preparing for a landing on the Moon’s near side in late February. Instead, the spacecraft is now headed back to Earth, where it will disintegrate in Earth’s upper atmosphere – so at least it’s going out in a blaze of glory. Here’s everything you need to know about the doomed mission and what went wrong.

‘The Last of Us Part II’ Didn’t Need a Remaster — But It Got One Anyway

While The Last of Us Part II Remastered may be a too-young re-release of one of the most technically impressive games of its generation, it still manages to make my palms sweat and is a masterclass in atmosphere and tension.

Naturally, the remaster does have features unique to this version of the game, which fans of the original game may find substantial enough to warrant a second purchase. If you enjoyed The Last of Us Part II then you will without a doubt love the remastered version of the game, as it includes developer commentary and an additional game mode to hone your skills, along with some features that take full advantage of the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller.
