  • Private lunar lander Peregrine Mission-1 made its first attempt to land on the Moon in over 50 years.
  • However, the landing attempt was seemingly failed after the spacecraft developed a “critical” fuel leak just hours after launch.
  • The anomaly is preventing the lander from "achieving a stable sun-pointing orientation".
  • Astrobotic, the American company is controlling the robotic lander of a garden shed's size.
  • The lander carries with it the DNA of the well-known former US presidents which include that of John F Kennedy and the Star Trek icons.
