it is already mentioned in the article body. Scu ba (talk) 20:40, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Interesting. I wonder what the thousands of other cultures in the world who venerate the Moon, including many Indigenous Australian cultures, think of the Navajo claim of heritage ownership. Peter Greenwell (talk) 03:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Root cause of anomoly

It is well established that the problem is a slow fuel leak. However, at this time, it is unclear what the root cause is. Pictures have been published showing damage to the exterior of the spacecraft, suggesting that there may have been some kind of impact. Is it possible that damage ocurred during separation from the rocket or, even, mico-meteorite impact? In any event, this deserves some discussion. Enquire (talk) 00:16, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

@Enquire, do you have any sources to support this? ✶Quxyz✶ 01:27, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Do I have sources? That was my question! It has been well established that there is a fuel leak. It has also been shown in published photographs taken by the spacecraft that there is damage to the exterior of the spacecraft. The question is, therefore, "who dunnit?" or, rather, "what dunnit?"

We cannot do anything without reliable secondary sources. We are not to decide who or what did anything, only public consensus can ✶Quxyz✶ 21:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

According to Astrobotic's official Twitter account, it sounds like a valve failure:

Ultimate Destination / Trajectory?

Having been abandoned, where will Peregrine end up? Will it crash into the Moon? If not, then what path will it follow after all the fuel and power are gone? Jeffryfisher (talk) 18:01, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

That really depends on what the team aims to do with it. As of writing, their latest update is that they have 52 hours of fuel left. Where the lander ultimately goes depends entirely on what they plan to do with that fuel. Gøøse060 (talk) 18:28, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
