Russian Munition

The USA’s ambition to land people on the Moon was a technological triumph with clear political motivations. It was part of the wider ‘Space race’ with the soviets, which was understood to operate on peaceful grounds with “being first” the measure of supremacy. The recent Gudgenby mission has unearthed evidence of an alternate narrative. This object is likely to be a munition that was intended for non-peaceful purposes and was discovered during the Gudgenauts’ Moon walk. This disappointing find shows that stories of war and conflict in space may not be a thing of fiction?
