Heartwarming Story with a Twist
Writers on the Moon’s own Jennifer Willis wrote a beautiful article about Peregrine and WOTM for Sky & Telescope. Astrobotic’s CEO John Thornton shared it with the Astrobots.
Hubby: Do you know Jennifer Willis?
ME: I sent you that in an email.
Hubby saw it on the company Teams before he got my note.
“No matter the outcome, Peregrine One remains an important project. That I got to participate in a literal moonshot electrifies me to my core. Even after the mission ended in the Earth’s atmosphere, my skin tingles at the very idea that I was a partner in this endeavor.
But nobody’s giving up — that would be a true failure. We learn from experience, we work the problems, and we give it another shot. Astrobotic will try again. And WOTM has already bought more payload space.” — Jennifer Willis
They say a lie can make it halfway around the world while the truth is still lacing its shoes.
Kindness can make it to the Moon and back in a heartbeat.
Thank you, Jennifer!

WOTM PAYLOAD STATUS: Still unknown, but Astrobotic is working hard to figure out how (and what and when) they can fly to return to the Moon. I will keep you updated as information becomes available.
