Astrobiotic has apparently had a catastrophic anomaly with the propulsion system on #PeregrineMissionOne While the vehicle is still apparently operating, without propulsion it cannot change its orbit or land on the Moon.

Barring a black swan event, the GOP is about to nominate someone that is under 91 felony indictments, is about to face a ruinous defamation judgment (and cannot stop himself from committing more defamation in the midst of trial), and is suffering from blatant and obvious mental decline.
