They're not launching it. It is tagging along. Still neat.

That’s still “sending” it to the moon, no?

Agreed, but when I first read the title, my immediate thought was about how they would be able to launch something so small. The headline isn't misleading, but could be worded better imo

Familiarity with space and payloads of that size implies it is ridesharing.

Well we all know how space enthusiasts are well known for reading Fortune.

They're one of the commercial payloads aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine Lander.

Probably better to word it like "are having it sent" rather than "sending" which have different implications

The wording's fine, guys. Just because someone is capable of misreading or reading too much into a headline that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the headline. That's just language, and how people can sometimes parse the wrong thing from it. Communication isn't some contest to see who can have the least ambiguity.

No. If you send something through the mail you didn't send it unless you drive the mail truck from your address to the recipient's.
Duh!

The portion of the article including this tidbit was paywalled. What are they sending it with? I’m curious about FAA licensing for this thing.
