WASHINGTON — Mission to deposit human remains on moon a ‘desecration’
The United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur rocket launched Monday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida carrying Astrobotic Technology’s lunar lander Peregrine, which contains human remains and DNA to be deposited on the moon.
Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren called this a “profound desecration.”
“The moon is sacred,” Nygren posted to Facebook. “It’s in our songs, our stories, our creation. The moon is a place that we’ve looked to for hundreds of years to make sure that we continue to exist. It’s part of ceremonies that have been around for the Navajo people for a long, long time.”
On Friday, Astrobotic reported that Peregrine’s fuel leak had slowed down; the craft was about 225,000 miles from Earth and had about 48 hours of propellant remaining.
