Shit happens. The editorialized title is unnecessary.
To be clear, that was the original title. I did not editorialize it; they changed it after I posted. It’s now “American Company’s Spacecraft Malfunctions on Its Way to the Moon”, but was “Moon Lander Malfunctions After Launch, Raising Questions for NASA”. I’ve updated the title.
