BREAKING NEWS – Cape Canaveral, Florida – A U.S. lunar lander that launched from Florida in hopes of becoming the first American craft to touch down on the moon in more than 50 years is now suffering from a “critical loss of propellant,” putting its mission in jeopardy, its maker says.
“The Mission Anomaly Board continues to evaluate the data we’re receiving and is assessing the status of what we believe to be the root of the anomaly: a failure within the propulsion system,” explained a spoke from the Space Force Station. “The leakage of the fuel was caused by someone not putting the cap back on the rocket after it was filled up, and it was found on the ground at a nearby Exxon gas station that’s a few blocks from NASA.”
