I would totally believe that the company that sold slots on a lunar lander to a ritzy funeral service, would cut corners on engineering

But now how are they going to recover the bitcoin wallet they sent along?
What a pathetic species we are.
Was Boeing involved in the assembly of this craft? Just wondering...
Going into space is hard, going to the moon is even harder!
Mind boggling that we launched a rocket with a payload without testing it at least once.
Where does it say it was untested?
It's not so weird, and if someone wants to take the extra risk with their own payload (and get a discount on the launch, i imagine) i see no problems with it.
Shit happens. The editorialized title is unnecessary.
To be clear, that was the original title. I did not editorialize it; they changed it after I posted. It's now "American Company’s Spacecraft Malfunctions on Its Way to the Moon", but was "Moon Lander Malfunctions After Launch, Raising Questions for NASA". I've updated the title.
