After a flawless launch to orbit, the privately built robotic Peregrine lander is unlikely to reach the lunar surface because of a failure in its propulsion system.

Mind boggling that we launched a rocket with a payload without testing it at least once.
Where does it say it was untested?
It’s not so weird, and if someone wants to take the extra risk with their own payload (and get a discount on the launch, i imagine) i see no problems with it.
