The Moon is a Harsh Market

Another attempt at a lunar landing by a commercial company has failed, despite a quirky payload and the universally acknowledged superiority in all things of private enterprise over Big Guvmint waste and inefficiency. Amid grandiose talk of colonising the moon within a decade or two, the unfortunately named Resilience robot appears to have succumbed to one or more present-day inconveniences. The setback comes mere months after two Texan settlers fell over on arrival, presumably for lack of space nigrahs on which to support themselves; and only two years after Resilience's own corporate predecessor came to archetypal capitalistic grief by believing itself on solid ground when it was actually in free-fall.
