TL;DR

The Peregrine lander, carrying the remains of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and actor James Doohan, encountered technical issues and will not land on the Moon as planned. Instead, the human remains are now drifting through space beyond the Earth-Moon system. The failure of this mission impacts NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program and raises concerns about future missions. The Navajo Nation had protested against the lunar burial, considering it a desecration of a sacred space.
